Philodendron
Birkin · New arrivalPhilodendrons come in all shapes and sizes. Native to Central and South America, these plants have two main categories, vining and non-climbing or upright. The vining varieties can be planted in hanging pots or baskets to let their leaves and vines grow downwards. They can also be potted with a trellis or support to climb up. Providing a trellis or support for a vining plant, helps encourage ariel roots to form and grip the support, which encourages larger foliage. Similar to the vining varieties, the non-climbing or upright philodendrons, need to have a trellis or support structure to keep it vertical and encourage foliage size. These plants can be low maintenance, requiring lots of bright indirect light and a loose potting soil with good drainage (a cactus mix usually does the trick). Watering needs tend to vary among varieties, so make sure to do your research when purchasing a philodendron.
