Philodendron Hope Selloum

Philodendron x Philodendron is a more compact cultivar of the strong Selloum Philodendron. This cultivar is distinguished by its layered ruffled leaves and its deeply divided leaves. This plant is very hardy and, like most large Philodendrons, will grow well indoors as long as you don’t overwater it. For best results, place your plant in bright indirect light. The Hope Selloum thrives in a warm humid environment with moderate amounts of water and light exposure. Place your plant in a place where it will receive moderate or bright indirect light exposure. The Selloum does not tolerate low light.
Once you receive your plant, make sure to assess its watering needs. Before giving it a drink, check the moisture level of the soil to make sure it’s not too moist just beneath the surface. We also recommend aerating the soil before the initial watering as we compact the soil to prevent shifting during transit. Aerating the soil helps the soil breathe and allows moisture to be released.
Philodendron thrives in consistently slightly moist soil. Because they have aerial roots, Philodendrons are sensitive to over-watering. As a result, they do not typically need to be watered more than once per week.
If the top 2/3 of the soil is dry, your philodendron plant could be in need of a drink. Rotate your plant regularly to ensure an even growth pattern on all sides. Dust the leaves frequently to allow the plant to photosynthesise effectively. While dusting, take the time to check the undersides of the leaves and look for insects.
Keep in mind that every plant is a living thing and its needs may vary, especially in different locations. Be mindful of your hope selloum’s condition and watering needs and your relationship will be a long and happy one.
