Care Instructions
Light: Bright, indirect light brings out the healthiest growth and best leaf form. Avoid strong 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 problems.
Soil: Use a well‑draining aroid or indoor potting mix. Adding perlite or orchid bark improves drainage and airflow to the roots.
Temperature: Prefers consistent indoor temperatures between 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity encourages robust foliage and growth. Occasional misting or a humidity tray can help in dry environments.
Growth Habit: Upright and textured, with uniquely shaped leaves that add bold interest to larger indoor displays.
Pet Safety
Philodendron ‘Tortum’ is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep the plant out of reach of pets and children. Ingestion can cause oral irritation, swelling, and gastrointestinal discomfort.
