They prefer medium light intensity but do tolerate low light. Keep the soil evenly moist and fertilize actively growing plants at least once a month. The ideal temperatures are 65 degrees at night and 85 degrees during the day. High humidity promotes lush foliage, however, philodendron usually tolerates the level of humidity found in most homes. Repot only when the roots have filled the pot.
Propagation is by stem cuttings or by offsets, depending on the type of philodendron grown.
