This 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 allow it to sit in excess water. Provide your new Philodendron Pluto with plenty of bright indirect light.
Additional info:
Philodendron is one of the most popular genuses of Aroid that are currently in cultivation, with over 450 named cultivars.
Philodendron vary greatly in their natural habits, but you will find a large number of them located in Latin America. Their leaves range from small to medium to large to gigantic! You'll find Philodendron with smooth, glossy foliage and some with velvety foliage!
If you allow Philodendron to climb, their foliage will usually get much larger the higher up they get. While this isn't true for all Philodendron species -- it is for most. We recommend a coco pole to really get your Philodendron growing!
For the most part, Philodendron are easy to care for.
The name Philodendron comes from the greek words "philo" (love or affection) and "dendron" (tree).

Plant arrived in excellent condition
I recently ordered a Pluto Choco Empress and Florida Ghost from Canopy Plant Co., and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. The plant arrived packaged perfectly and in absolutely flawless condition. The size of the plant far exceeded my expectations—full, lush, and clearly very well cared for.
The turnaround time from ordering to delivery was impressively quick, and the quality of the plant speaks for itself. The leaves are beautiful, vibrant, and healthy, making it a stunning addition to my collection.
I’m truly impressed with Canopy Plant Co. and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high‑quality plants with exceptional customer service.
Made the trip in the freezing weather. Nicely packed and healthy. Excited to watch the new leave.
