Please note: These plants have been grown in seedling plug trays and therefore the root systems will not be as fully established as a larger pot size and will require extra attention. Plants are on average 5cm in length and photos on the website are indicative only. Please take this into consideration with each purchase of the Bare Bottom Babies.  The dispatch team always pick the best plants that are available.

• Light: Philodendron Lime Fiddle thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate medium light, but its vibrant lime-green colour will be more pronounced with good lighting. Avoid direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves.

• Watering: Water the plant when the top 2-3 cm (1 inch) of soil feels dry. Ensure the soil remains moist but not soggy, as overwatering can lead to root rot. Always use a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

• Humidity: This plant loves humidity and thrives in an environment with 60-80% humidity. Consider misting the plant regularly or placing a humidifier nearby, especially in drier climates or during winter months.

• Temperature: Ideal temperatures for Philodendron Lime Fiddle are between 18°C and 30°C. Keep it away from cold drafts, air conditioners, and heaters.

• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter, such as a mix designed for aroids. You can add perlite or orchid bark to improve aeration and drainage.

• Fertiliser: Feed the plant during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4-6 weeks. Dilute the fertiliser to half strength to avoid over-fertilisation. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.

• Pruning: Trim any dead or yellowing leaves to keep the plant looking its best. Pruning will also encourage new growth and help maintain its bushy shape.
