Goeldii Philodendron is a difficult-to-find plant that is satisfyingly easy to grow. The long, deep-green leaves grow in a spiral pattern that can be trained onto a moss-covered pole for extra support. The finger-like whorls of leaves are why this plant is known as Finger Plant or Finger tree. Goeldii is sometimes called Fun Bun because the top canopy has a spiral shape. 

Best Locations For Growing Goeldii Philodendron

The vertical shape of this Philodendron makes it natural to tuck into the corner of a halfway or office. However, it deserves to be placed where it can shine as a specimen plant or the background to a plantscape of other tropical plants. All parts of Goeldii Philodendron are toxic and should be kept out of the reach of pets and children.

Goeldii Philodendron Sunlight Requirements

Goeldii Philodendron has deep-green leaves that will thrive in medium light. East- and west-facing windows provide indirect bright light for a limited period in the morning or afternoon, which is perfect for Goeldii’s needs. Philodendrons make good outdoor plants for a shaded patio or deck during the summer. Keep it out of direct sun, which will bleach and burn the leaves.

Goeldii Philodendron Care

Epiphytic plants like Goeldii Philodendron prefer a potting mix that is nutritious and fast draining. Mix 1 part potting soil to 1 part orchid bark; this will anchor the roots in the pot and provide adequate drainage and nutrition. Goeldii Philodendron does not like to be repotted often and grows well when pot-bound. Top-dress large pots in the spring with a mix of 1 part fine orchid bark mixed with 1 part worm castings. Goeldii Philodendron will begin to drop leaves if the indoor temperature drops below 55 degrees F.

Watering Goeldii Philodendron

Philodendrons are a great starter plant for new houseplant gardeners because they can tolerate periods of drought and neglect. Allowing the plant to dry in between waterings ensures that the roots are not soggy and have good air circulation. Water once a week in the summer and every 10-14 days in the winter when the growth slows down. Always make sure to use a container with excellent drainage and to discard any water standing in the saucer or cache pot.

Feeding Goeldii Philodendron

Apply a balanced houseplant fertilizer once a month to support rapid growth during the spring and summer. Fertilizing during the winter is unnecessary unless the plant begins to lose color and yellow.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
