Instrucciones de cuidado
Philodendron giganteum thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate medium light conditions. It prefers moderate temperatures and high humidity, mimicking its native tropical environment. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.Suelo
This plant prefers a well-draining, loamy soil mix that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix of peat, perlite, and pine bark works well. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Fertilizante
Feed Philodendron giganteum with a balanced liquid fertilizer, such as 20-20-20, every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.Trasplante
Repot the plant every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is one size larger and ensure it has drainage holes. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil mix.Propagación
Philodendron giganteum can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take a cutting with at least one node and a few leaves, and place it in water or moist soil. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.Poda
Prune the plant to control its size and shape, and to remove any dead or yellowing leaves. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to make clean cuts just above a node.Toxicidad
Philodendron giganteum is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and swelling in the mouth and throat. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.Adicional
To maintain high humidity, consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a tray with water and pebbles. Regularly wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and to allow for better photosynthesis.REVOLUCIONE EL CUIDADO DE SUS PLANTAS
