Water your Philodendron Green thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain out of the bottom of the pot to prevent waterlogging, which can cause root rot.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Philodendron Green is toxic to pets if ingested. Keep it out of reach of curious pets or consider placing it in an area where pets cannot access it.
