  • Light

    • Provide bright, indirect light. Philodendron spiritus sancti prefers ample light to maintain its unique leaf shape and growth. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so filter the light through sheer curtains or position the plant where it receives indirect light.
    • Place near a north or east-facing window, or use grow lights if natural light is insufficient. Ensure that the light intensity is adequate to support healthy leaf development.

  • Water

    Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Philodendron spiritus sancti prefers consistently moist soil but can suffer from root rot if overwatered. Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging.

  • Tips

    • Rotate often to ensure even growth.
    • High humidity is crucial, ideally between 60% and 80%.
    • Maintain temperatures between 18°C to 29°C (65°F to 85°F).
    • It is a climbing or vining plant with a tendency to develop aerial roots, which is typical of many Philodendron species. In its natural habitat, it grows as an epiphyte, attaching itself to trees or other structures.
    • Fertilize lightly once a month during the spring and summer.

  • Toxicity

    This plant is considered toxic.
