Care Instructions
Light: Bright, indirect light is best to maintain strong leaf color and healthy growth. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch foliage.
Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy; overwatering can lead to root issues.
Soil: Use a well‑draining, nutrient‑rich potting mix. Combining perlite or orchid bark with regular potting soil improves drainage and airflow.
Temperature: Prefers stable indoor temperatures between 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity encourages lush growth. Using a humidity tray, pebble tray, or occasional misting can help in drier conditions.
Pet Safety
Philodendron ‘Paraiso Verde’ is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children. Ingestion can cause oral irritation, swelling, and gastrointestinal discomfort.
