While philodendrons appreciate consistent moisture, they prefer to avoid being constantly waterlogged. Overwatering can lead to root rot and other issues. It is crucial to allow the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering again. Water your philodendron when the soil feels slightly dry to the touch. Watering frequency may vary depending on factors such as temperature, humidity, and the potting mix used. Always ensure proper drainage to prevent water from sitting in the pot, and adjust your watering schedule accordingly to maintain a balance between moisture and avoiding excessive water accumulation.
