Today, let me introduce a popular evergreen climbing plant - philodendron. With its unique charm, it has become a popular choice for ornamental plants. Its leaves are emerald green, with beautiful shapes and are evergreen all year round, bringing continuous visual enjoyment to many people. At the same time, it is convenient to maintain and has wide adaptability. Whether it is on a balcony or in a courtyard, it can be easily planted to add vitality.
The flower language of philodendron is "tenacity and vitality". This not only represents its ability to survive tenaciously in harsh environments, but also symbolizes people's perseverance in the face of difficulties. Therefore, it is most suitable to be given to companions in adversity or those who have failed in exams. In daily maintenance, it is suitable to be placed in a place with sufficient scattered light, such as on the windowsill of a study, living room or bedroom. At the same time, after confirming the placement position, it is necessary to avoid placing it in places directly blown by air conditioners, heaters, etc., so as to avoid damage to the leaves. In addition, its suitable temperature range is relatively wide, and it can grow well generally between 18 and 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid low temperature environments below 10 degrees Celsius to prevent frostbite.
In terms of water, keep the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged. When watering, wait until the surface of the potting soil is dry before watering to avoid root rot caused by excessive watering. In addition, in the relatively dry autumn, a relatively high air humidity is required. It is recommended to increase the humidity of the surrounding environment by spraying or placing a humidifier.
If you want the plant to grow healthily, fertilizers are indispensable. In the growing season from spring to autumn, that is, from May to September, liquid compound fertilizer can be applied once a month. Remember that the amount of nitrogen fertilizer should not be too much, otherwise it will cause the petioles to be long and weak and not stand upright, affecting the ornamental effect. Stop fertilizing in winter.
Finally, it should be noted that the sap of philodendron is poisonous. Therefore, when pruning old leaves and yellowed leaves during maintenance, it is best to wear gloves to avoid discomfort in the hands. In short, philodendron is an indoor plant that is easy to maintain. As long as you pay attention to avoiding direct sunlight and excessive watering, you can enjoy the greenery and freshness it brings at home.
