Best Locations For Growing Green Princess Philodendron

This Philodendron thrives in bedrooms, living rooms, or offices with medium to bright indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves. Its compact size makes it perfect for desks, bookshelves, or small corners. Due to its toxicity, it should be kept out of reach of pets and children.

Green Princess Philodendron Sunlight Requirements

Place the plant in bright indirect light, such as near an east- or west-facing window. It can also tolerate medium light, though growth may slow in lower light conditions. Avoid direct afternoon sunlight to prevent leaf scorching.

Green Princess Philodendron Care

This plant prefers a warm environment with moderate humidity. Use well-draining soil, such as a mix of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark, and repot every 1-2 years or when root-bound. A pot with drainage holes is essential to prevent waterlogging.

Watering Green Princess Philodendron

Water when the top inch of soil is dry, thoroughly soaking the soil and allowing excess water to drain. Avoid letting the plant sit in water to prevent root rot. Humidity levels above 50% are preferred; consider a pebble tray or humidifier in drier months.

Feeding Green Princess Philodendron

Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half the recommended label strength once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth slows. Regular fertilization will promote lush foliage and healthy growth.
