All the Details You Need to Know

The Story Behind This Plant

Philodendron Tortum is native to the tropical rainforests of South America, growing as an epiphyte under tree canopies. Its natural adaptability to filtered light and humidity makes it well suited for indoor cultivation.

How to Keep It Happy
  • Light: Bright, indirect light is best. It tolerates lower light but grows more slowly.
  • Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring good drainage.
  • Humidity: High humidity (60% or more) helps it thrive.
  • Support: A moss pole or trellis encourages larger, more mature leaves.

Bring Home Philodendron Tortum

We hand pick each Philodendron Tortum and pack it carefully so it arrives in good shape anywhere in Ontario or Quebec.

Sun: Bright, Indirect

This plant thrives in well-lit spaces, preferably near an east or north-facing window where it gets filtered light throughout the day.

Light: Moderate to Bright

Philodendron Tortum enjoys plenty of bright, indirect light. Some gentle morning sun will keep it happy, but avoid harsh midday rays.

Water: Consistent, Moderate Moisture

Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water deeply but ensure proper drainage to prevent soggy roots.

Humidity: Moderate to High

They prefer higher humidity levels, though they can adapt to average indoor humidity. A light misting or a humidifier can encourage lush growth.

Pet Friendly: Caution

While not highly toxic, the plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation if ingested by pets.

Pro Tip

Rotate the pot every couple of weeks to ensure even growth and prevent the plant from leaning toward the light. Regular pruning of lower leaves will maintain its compact, bushy appearance.
