US$24.99

Philodendron Mini Midget, commonly known as the Mini Midget Philodendron, is a compact variety of philodendron that is native to the tropical rainforests of South America. This plant is appreciated for its small size and attractive, glossy leaves.

 

Care tips include:

 

- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

 

- Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from sitting at the bottom, which can lead to root rot.

 

- Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. While it can adapt to average household humidity, increasing humidity levels can enhance its growth. Misting the leaves occasionally or using a humidity tray can be beneficial.

 

- Temperature: Enjoys temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect the plant from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

 

- Soil: A well-draining potting mix is crucial. A standard houseplant mix or one specifically designed for aroids works well.

 

- Fertilization: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to promote healthy growth.

 

The Mini Midget Philodendron is an excellent choice for those looking for a low-maintenance plant that adds lush greenery to indoor spaces. Its compact size makes it suitable for small areas or as part of a larger plant display. With proper care, this philodendron can thrive and provide a beautiful focal point in your home.
