Philodendrons, a diverse genus comprising over 500 species, requires moderate care. Primarily, these plants crave bright yet indirect light, regular watering once the topsoil becomes dry, and perform best in temperatures ranging from 65°F - 75°F. They prefer well-draining, peat-based soil. The biggest challenges revolve around pests such as aphids and spider mites, fungal, viral, and bacterial diseases, and sensitivity to overly damp conditions. The care needs vary seasonally - they may demand more water in summer and less in winter, while draught-free, steady indoor conditions can be beneficial year-round.
