How to care for your Philodendron –
Water: Let the soil become dry between waterings, if your leaves droop this means your philodendron is not getting enough water.
Light: Allow your philodendron to get plenty of bright, but indirect sunlight, too much and leaves can turn yellow.
Humidity: They can survive in a low humidity environment, but it will thrive with a higher humidity level. Mist the leaves regularly.
