Care

Rare Philodendron wend-imde variegata feels most comfortable with indirect light and increased humidity. Temperatures of 20° to 24° Celsius and an airy substrate are optimal. The substrate of this tropical plant should never dry out completely. It is best to water when the first few inches of soil are dry. This helps to avoid waterlogging and promotes healthy growth. How often you actually have to water depends on the light, the humidity, the size of the plant and the pot.
