You can also get away with fertilizing almost never. For a smaller variety, try the cultivar 'Xanadu'. Philodendron tends to develop aerial roots that can be pruned off if unsightly. Dust the spreading leaves frequently, and use tepid water. Be sure to protect your floor and hands when pruning, since the latex can irritate the skin.
Rubber trees are easy to grow in bright areas of the house.
Go light on the fertilizer. It prefers a bright window, but can tolerate lower light. Give this plant a course, sandy soil to assure good drainage.
