We highly recommend that you provide a coco pole or other form of support for this species in order to achieve the prized large foliage.

This particular Philodendron plant prefers a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Allow the soil to dry out almost completely before watering, taking care to not over water your plant. Provide your Philodendron plant with plenty of bright indirect light.
