  • The tree philodendron, or philodendron selloum, is a leafy, tropical plant that makes a big impact in any space. But this South American beauty requires the right environment to ensure its dark green, lobed leaves always look their best. Plant Doctor Hilton Carter breaks down the basics of philodendron tree care: where to place it in your home, when and how much to water it, how to tell it’s ready to repot, and more!

    Never really looked into this plant before, had one for years. Bought it in a store for 50% when it was about to become garbage. Today this dude takes over my tiny hope. "He" lives outside in a summer, and usually double in size. Which means, I have to cut a few of his leafs when he goes back inside in a winter. Definitely has personality! Cool to see a video about it, but to be honest, never gave it THAT much care.

    My Tree Philo is a BEAST! Loves soil being soaking wet, gets droopy when he’s thirsty. Sometimes I put him on the patio for several weeks; 10 hours of direct SoCal sunlight per day and he grows like he’s pumping iron. Amazing!

    I currently have one that is huge, and it is the baby of the original one I bought in Reno some 30 years ago. That plant lived 20 years before it passed away. This baby is now about ten or eleven years old, and I just took the "sucker" off it to make another plant.

    Mine started deteriorating about 2 weeks after bringing it home. It has brown tips but yellow leaves. I checked the roots, and they're perfectly fine.
    I have it between east wind south windows. Which has filtered light. The room is around 66-68° with 50-60% humidity and I have a lot of plants around the area. I repotted it since it was rootbound and use rain water. It's still not improving.
    I don't know what else to do!

  • @SuperHoogabooga
    @SuperHoogabooga 4 роки тому

    I have a very large (over 5' diameter) Philodendron Selloum that was given to me five years ago... I have repotted it twice, and it needs repotting again. My problem is that it has become so top heavy, it actually tipped out of its pot and is growing (like crazy!! New leaves all the time!) sideways. In addition to that, two root tendrils have found their way to my floor, through drainage holes and/or over the top of the pot. It literally looks like my plant is climbing out of its pot! These tendrils are quite long and have adhered to my hardwood floor - I will likely have to cut them to get the plant free of its current pot, but I don't want to hurt it. Would love some advice...

The leaves are big & green.No issues, only when one new growth is born. One dies. DO you know why? I've been searching & I can't find anything on it. Thanks

    I have my Pearl
    Plant on a very regimented watering schedule. I don’t care if she’s dry or not. I water every 1.5 weeks 😅😮 god FORBID if I mist her! It might as well be poison. Same with my Hoya/ Christmas cactus. Although he just doesn’t like it, he doesn’t immediately perish like my Pearl plant.
    I’d like to hear a tutorial on Curly Sue. Last winter, out of nowhere, well after I had stopped fertilizing it blossom little flowers then some kind of small ball. Not sure what it was. Why do this in the winter , when I had cut down watering and NO fertilizer. Made zero sense. 🤷‍♀️. No explanation when I googled.
