Philodendron selloum - Green Princess
Le Botanist
Couldn't load pickup availability
She may have a royal name but she's far from a drama queen. She's a very easy care girl with gorgeous, glossy, rich green leaves (and if you're lucky, some have a speckling of little gold star-dust freckles). Very easy care and low-maintenance provided you're not an over-waterer.
Like many in the Philodendron family, she likes medium to bright indirect light. Not a sunbather, especially in summer, as direct light can burn her beautiful leaves and cause brown marks, but she'll handle a bit of direct sun in winter. She'll also handle lower light conditions like the ease-care girl she is, but growth may slow down. Like most of us, she prefers warm temperatures. Aim to keep her above about 12 degrees. Drafts aren't ideal. A light warm wind all good, but don't put her by an open door, or in the path of air from your air conditioning / heat pump.
Lightly, evenly moist - but not soggy. No feet wet please. Lower maintenance than many because the Philodendron Green Princess won't mind drying out a bit between watering, especially in winter, but over-watering is a no go. We feed monthly in Spring and Summer (a half dose of Groconut if you feed weekly, otherwise normal dose fortnightly). A regular drench when the top is dry is a good method for watering this girl. Just let that all drain out and stop dripping before returning her to her saucer or cover pot. Definitely need a pot with drainage holes for this girl.
