Philodendron 'Velvet'

The Philodendron 'Velvet' is a lush and exquisite variety, famous for its velvety, deep green leaves that add a sense of luxury and sophistication to any space. This plant is a part of the larger Philodendron family, known for its heart-shaped leaves, but the 'Velvet' stands out with its unique leaf texture and rich color.

Sun Schedule: Prefers medium to bright, indirect light. Adequate lighting enhances the velvety sheen of the leaves, while too much direct sunlight can damage them.

Pet Friendly: As with many Philodendrons, the 'Velvet' is not pet-friendly. It's best to keep this plant out of reach of pets to ensure their safety.

Size: Typically found in a 5"-7" pot, the 'Velvet' is ideal for small to medium spaces. It can grow to about 1-2 feet in height, making it a perfect addition to desks, shelves, or as an accent piece in living areas.

Care Intensity: Requires moderate care, making it suitable for plant lovers who enjoy engaging with and caring for their green companions.

Water Schedule: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, usually every 1-2 weeks. Be cautious not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot.

Grower Tip: To keep the leaves looking their best, regularly dust them with a soft cloth. This not only maintains their velvety appearance but also supports better photosynthesis.
