Philodendron Selloum Green Lemon

Originally from Mexico, Central America, South America and parts of the Caribbean, Philodendron Selloum 'Green Lemon' is an attractive perennial cultivar in the Araceae family. It is an enchanting, evergreen cultivar popular for its slim, heart-shaped, vibrant emerald green leaves. These are produced on trailing stems which when trained up a moss pole can reach over 2m in height. This tropical cultivar is beautiful and can make an extremely attractive houseplant and statement piece. Mature plants when given the right conditions may produce green-white flowers arranged in spathe structures.

Position:

Place in medium to bright indirect light, this will aid in larger leaf growth and fuller foliage while encouraging brighter more intense colouration on the leaves. Warmth and humidity is this guy's best friend.

Water:

Philodendrons prefer to dry out a bit between waterings. If your plant is in a bright location, water it when the soil is dry halfway down the root mass. If your plant is in fluorescent or lower light conditions, let the soil dry out about 5cm from the top of the soil before watering again thoroughly. Don’t overwater as all indoor plants are prone to root rot. Yellowing or mushy stalks or leaves are a key sign of this so if it happens, let the soil dry out completely before watering again.

Humidity:

Normal room humidity is fine. We recommend you mist the leaves with water or our seaweed mist product daily to keep them lush.
Alternatively, you can use a humidity tray, half-filled with water, then place your plant pot on top. Top up the water if necessary when watering your plant. Make sure the water level stays below the top of the pebbles/ leca balls so the plant roots can breathe. The humidity from the tray will keep the leaves lush and the roots moist.

Feed:

Feed with an organic liquid fertilizer formulated for houseplants. Apply once every 6 weeks but less in winter if your plant isn’t in a greenhouse. Use our Organic seaweed fertilizer for best results.
