Philodendron Red Apple

Light:
Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate lower light, but colors are more vibrant with adequate filtered light. Avoid direct sun, which may scorch the leaves.

Watering:
Water when the top inch (2–3 cm) of soil feels dry. Ensure proper drainage and never let the plant sit in soggy soil to avoid root rot.

Humidity:
Thrives in moderate to high humidity. Normal household humidity is usually sufficient, but occasional misting or a nearby humidifier is beneficial.

Temperature:
Keep in a warm environment—65–80°F (18–27°C) is ideal. Protect from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

Soil:
Use a well-draining aroid mix or a combination of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark for healthy root growth.

Fertilizer:
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. No need to fertilize in winter.

Repotting:
Repot every 1–2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Spring is the best time to repot.

Toxicity:
Like most philodendrons, it is toxic if ingested, so keep out of reach of pets and children.

Air purifying: Helps remove indoor toxins like formaldehyde and benzene, improving air quality.

Tropical aesthetic: Glossy red-to-green foliage brings a bold, exotic feel to any space.

Low maintenance: Easy to care for, making it ideal for beginners or busy lifestyles.

Compact size: Upright, non-climbing growth fits well in small rooms, desks, or shelves.

Boosts mood and focus: Enhances indoor environments by promoting calmness and reducing stress.
