All the Details You Need to Know

The Story Behind This Plant

The **Philodendron Calkins Gold** is a beautiful hybrid variety prized for its stable and vibrant coloration. It belongs to the Araceae family, native to the tropical Americas. In their natural habitat, these types of Philodendrons are often hemiepiphytes, meaning they start life on the forest floor and climb up trees toward the canopy light. This natural climbing instinct is why they respond so well to a moss pole in your home, often producing larger leaves as they climb!

How to Keep It Happy

Keeping the Calkins Gold vibrant is all about finding the right balance of light and water.

**Light:** Bright, indirect light is crucial! Too little light will cause the beautiful golden variegation to fade to green. Avoid harsh, direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves.
**Water:** Allow the top 30-50% of the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Philodendrons hate having "soggy feet," so ensure good drainage.
**Soil:** Use a chunky, airy, well-draining "aroid mix." Adding perlite and orchid bark to standard potting soil helps ensure roots get the oxygen they need.
**Humidity:** While it survives in average household humidity, it thrives in higher humidity (around 60%). Misting or a pebble tray can help during dry winters.
**Support:** Being a climber at heart, providing a moss pole or trellis will encourage faster growth and larger, more mature foliage.

What to Do About Pests

Philodendrons are generally tough, but stress can occasionally invite pests. Regular inspections are key.

**Spider Mites:** Look for tiny webs and fine stippling on the leaves, especially if the air is dry. Our Guide
**Mealybugs:** These appear as small, white cottony masses tucked into leaf axils or under leaves. Our Guide
**Thrips:** Tiny, slender insects that cause silvery or bronze streaks on foliage. Isolate and treat immediately if spotted.

How to take care of Philodendron Calkins Gold

Sun: Indirect

Philodendron Calkins Gold will tolerate medium light, but brighter conditions encourage more vibrant golden tones and fuller growth. In lower light, growth may slow and the color can appear more green than gold. For best results, keep Philodendron Calkins Gold in a room with consistent brightness rather than deep shade.

Light: Medium - Bright

Philodendron Calkins Gold enjoys some gentle direct sun, but it truly thrives in bright, indirect light. It is best to place Philodendron Calkins Gold near an east facing window where it can receive soft morning sun, then indirect light for the rest of the day. Harsh midday sun can fade or scorch the golden leaves, so filtered light is ideal.

Water: When mostly dry

Allow the top half of the soil to dry before watering Philodendron Calkins Gold. It prefers a steady cycle of drying slightly between waterings rather than staying constantly wet. Overwatering is the most common issue, so make sure the pot has drainage and never let it sit in excess water.

Humidity: Any

Philodendron Calkins Gold adapts well to average indoor humidity. While it appreciates slightly higher humidity, especially during winter heating season, it does not demand tropical levels. If your home feels comfortable to you, it will likely feel comfortable to Philodendron Calkins Gold.

Pet Friendly: No

Philodendron Calkins Gold is not pet safe. Like other philodendrons, it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation if chewed by cats or dogs. Keep Philodendron Calkins Gold out of reach of curious pets.

Pro Tip

Use a chunky, well draining soil mix for Philodendron Calkins Gold, something airy with bark and perlite. The roots like oxygen just as much as moisture. If the leaves start losing their golden glow, check the light first. More brightness often brings the color right back.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
