PHILODENDRON TORTUM
The Philodendron tortum is a rare climbing plant native to Colombia. It has long, spidery dark green leaves and can reach 6 feet tall indoors. Place it in bright, indirect light, keep the soil moist, and provide climbing support.
Light: thrives in bright, indirect light. It prefers moderate to high light conditions but can tolerate lower light levels. Place it near a window with filtered sunlight or in a well-lit room.
Water: prefers consistently moist soil but not waterlogged conditions. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings, and then water thoroughly. Typically requiring water every 1-2 weeks. Ensure proper drainage to prevent water accumulation.
Fertiliser: every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Use a houseplant fertilizer or a specific formulation for philodendrons, following the package instructions for dosage. Reduce or eliminate fertilization during the winter months when the plant is in a dormant phase.
Benefits: attractive glossy leaves and ability to improve indoor air quality by removing toxins.
