With a tidy compact habit, this much loved air purifying Philodendron with its soft bright green glossy leaves adds a tropical feel to a small home or apartment. Low maintenance easy going, ideal for beginners with no pruning required, thrives in sun or shade yet prefers a partly shaded location, rarely bothered by pests or disease, and usually only need a once-a-week watering. More of a spreading rather than vertical habit, tending to grow in a more horizontal direction yet still just 1-2 ft. tall and wide. Indoors, grow in medium to bright indirect light, and outdoors, an area with light shade is best. Grows larger when planted outdoors about 3 ft tall by 5 ft wide, keep year round outdoors only in USDA Plant Zones 9-11, in all other areas the plant is typically grown as an indoor house plant. Its warm weather outdoor uses are numerous including near home foundation, surrounding palms and other trees, tropical garden accent, along the edge of a patio or deck, lining a driveway or pathway, in a pretty pot for the patio, lanai or pool area.
