Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Philodendron goeldii displays large, leathery, hand-like foliage of multi-leaflets on long stems. The slowly creeping stem is best when supported. Tolerant of low light and home conditions. Philodendron are best grown in fertile, organic, acidic soil that is moist but never waterlogged. Allow the soil to mostly dry out between watering. Prefers bright, indoor light but does not take well to direct sunlight. Protect your plant from frost!
