Philodendron ‘Florida Bronze’

Description:
Philodendron 'Florida Bronze' is a striking hybrid known for its unique, deeply lobed leaves that transition from a rich bronze hue to deep green as they mature. This fast-growing, vining plant adds a touch of tropical elegance to any indoor space, making it a popular choice for collectors and enthusiasts. Easy to care for and resilient, it thrives in a variety of indoor conditions, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and seasoned plant lovers.

Watering:
Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, ensuring any excess drains away to prevent root rot. Reduce watering frequency in cooler months when growth slows. Using filtered or distilled water is recommended, as Philodendrons can be sensitive to tap water.

Fertilizer:
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (Spring and Summer). For enhanced growth, consider a fertilizer with a slightly higher nitrogen content. Reduce feeding in the Fall and Winter months when the plant enters a slower growth phase.

Lighting:
Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. However, lower light may result in slower growth and less vibrant foliage. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. If growing in dim areas, supplement with a grow light for optimal growth.

Temperature:
Prefers warm temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Avoid exposure to cold drafts, sudden temperature fluctuations, and temperatures below 55°F (13°C), as these can cause stress and leaf damage.

Humidity:
Prefers moderate to high humidity (50% or more). If the air is dry, increase humidity by misting the plant, placing it near a humidity tray, or using a humidifier. Higher humidity encourages larger, more vibrant foliage.
