Philodendron el guapo or Philodendron sp. Colombia or Columbia NOID is a crawling philodendron loved by collectors for its large, heart shaped leaves. These large, showy leaves are a deep green colour and have a very subtle sheen. These leaves contrast beautifully against there red tinged stems and rhizome. Unlike a lot of Philodendrons this stunner is a crawling or creeping plant, so it doesn’t need a climbing support but will need a rather large spot in the garden or pot as it continues to mature. 

☀️This plant requires bright indirect light, avoid any harsh light or positioning this plant too close to a window as scorching or leaf burn can occur.

💧Philodendron like their soil to be kept evenly moist and it’s best not to let them completely dry out in between waterings as the leaves can start to droop. 

〰️These plants do require higher levels of humidity, leaf edges may dry and begin to brown if the ambient humidity is too low. You will generally start to see signs of this at the tips of the leaves. This isn't detrimental to the plant's health, but can look unsightly. You can increase humidity in your home by misting, grouping plants close together or sitting pot plants on a saucer filled with pebbles and water.

🌡️Like most popular houseplants, Philodendron prefer temperatures in the 18°C-30°C which is similar to their tropical native habitat. 

🍴It’s best to feed regularly during the warmer months and reduce frequency in winter. Alternatively, use a controlled release fertiliser at the beginning of spring and autumn.

✂️Remove dying or browning leaves and stems as required. Otherwise, there is no need to prune. These plants can be very easily grown by dividing mature clumps or from cuttings. Just snip below a node, place in water and wait a few weeks and it’s that easy or plant directly into soil and keep damp until it produces roots. It also very easy to separate clumps by untangle the root ball and simply potting each clump separately.

🪴Philodendron prefer a well-draining potting mix.

(You will receive a bare rooted plant, similar to the ones seen in the images. Each living plant is unique and may vary slightly in size, colour or shape.)
