How to care for a Philodendron scadens Brasil
Watering Philodendron scadens Brasil
This climbing plant likes an even moisture in the potting soil.
Water as soon as the top layer has dried slightly, but do not allow the soil to dry out completely.
Potting soil that is too wet can cause root rot, while too dry can result in years of stunted growth.
Light requirements Philodendron scadens Brasil
Place your Philodendron scadens Brasil in a spot with bright, indirect light.
Direct sunlight can cause scorch marks on the leaves, while too little light fades the leaf markings.
An east- or west-facing window is ideal for maintaining both light growth and attractive leaf patterns.
Frequently occurring problems
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves can indicate an irregular watering pattern or nutritional problems.
Check the moisture content of the potting soil and adjust your watering schedule.
A light, all-round houseplant fertilizer can restore nutritional balance.
Plant dripping water
If water droplets appear on the leaves, the humidity is too high or there may be water accumulation at the bottom of the pot.
Provide adequate air circulation and remove excess water from the plate beneath the pot.
Preferably use a dehumidifier or take a look at our collection of potting soil for aroids for a better drainage mixture.
Plagues
Spider mites and thrips can sometimes nest on young leaves.
Inspect the underside of the leaves weekly and treat if infestation occurs with an insecticide or our sticky traps against fungus gnats .
Good ventilation and regular dusting limits the risk of pests.
Carrots are coming out of the bottom of the pot
It's a good sign when roots start to look out, because your Philodendron scadens Brasil is growing quickly.
Repot into a larger pot or trim some of the aerial roots if you want to keep the plant compact.
For example, use a pot from our collection of flower pots for extra growing space.
Brown edges
Brown edges are often caused by air that is too dry or irregular watering.
Increase the humidity with a plant sprayer or a bowl of water nearby.
Water consistently and avoid sudden temperature fluctuations on the windowsill.
