Philodendron 'Green Princess' - 20-30cm - pot size ⌀12cm

Origin and type: The Philodendron 'Green Princess' is a popular, decorative houseplant with glossy, dark green leaves with light spots and a loose growth habit.

Light: The plant does well in light to semi-shady conditions, but avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves.

Water: Keep the potting soil slightly moist, watering as soon as the top layer feels dry; avoid wet feet to prevent root rot. In winter, the soil can dry out a little longer.

Humidity: Likes slightly higher than average humidity; regular misting keeps the leaves fresh and healthy.

Temperature: Grows best at 18-25°C; not colder than 12°C and no cold draughts.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting soil, such as one containing coconut fiber and perlite, which retains moisture but provides good aeration.

Feeding: Fertilize once a month during the growth period (spring and summer) with liquid houseplant food; do not feed in winter.

Pruning: Remove yellowed or damaged leaves; pruning encourages compact, bushy growth.

Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years, preferably in spring.

Toxicity: The plant is poisonous to humans and animals; keep out of reach of children and pets.

Bonus: The Philodendron 'Green Princess' is air-purifying and relatively easy to care for, and its spotted leaves make any interior lively and fresh.
