How to keep Philodendron Aurantiifolium.
Water
Philodendron aurantiifolium flourishes in a humid setting. To ensure it remains healthy, water it thoroughly three times a week and mist it regularly. It's best to water the plant in the early morning and gently wipe any excess water off the leaves. To prevent exposure to harmful minerals found in tap water, use rainwater or distilled water.
Pruning
Prune your Philodendron aurantiifolium in early spring, before new growth begins. Remove any dead leaves and trim long stems to enhance the plant's shape and bushiness. Make sure to use clean, sharp tools, and make cuts just above the leaf nodes. This process not only boosts the plant's aesthetic appeal but also encourages vigorous growth and improves light and air circulation.
