Care Instructions
Philodendron burle-marxii requires bright, indirect light and should be kept in moderate temperatures with high humidity. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. It is important to avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.Soil
This plant prefers a well-draining, loamy soil mix that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of peat, perlite, and pine bark works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom.Fertilizer
Use a balanced liquid fertilizer with a 20-20-20 N-P-K ratio. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce the frequency during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.Repotting
Repot Philodendron burle-marxii every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is one size larger and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil mix.Propagation
Propagate Philodendron burle-marxii through stem cuttings. Take a cutting with at least one node and a few leaves. Place the cutting in water or directly into moist soil. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.Pruning
Prune the plant to maintain its shape and remove any dead or yellowing leaves. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears. Pruning can be done throughout the year as needed.Toxicity
Philodendron burle-marxii is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and swelling in the mouth and throat. Keep the plant out of reach of children and pets.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
