Philodendron Bipinnatifidum 'Shangri-La'

A tropical plant this compact variety of Philodendron has funky deeply lobed leaves. In a similar way to how the leaves of a Monstera deliciosa (Swiss Cheese) plant develops more holes in mature leaves this variety will grow leaves gaining larger wavy indentations in time.

Please note, the decorative planter is not included in the price.

Watering

Water regularly during warmer months but allow the soil to dry out between each watering and make sure the roots are never sitting in water for a prolonged period. Water less frequently during colder months.

Light requirements 

Requires plenty of indirect light but may suffer if it gets too much direct sunlight. A lack of light can lead to leggy stems/ low growth rate / loss of leaves. 

Care tips

• Avoid placing the planter next to radiators or draughty windows
• Carefully wipe the leaves from time-to-time to remove any dust
• Prune out any brown leaves or stems by cutting as close to the next stem or the base of the plant as possible
• Use some fertiliser during warmer months i.e. April to September (little and often is best for consistent growth)
