Philodendron plant care?
My viv has mostly philodendron plants in it, (Pathos, Hope). They are not really growing, do I need to give them a heavy watering every few days or just let them stay somewhat moist from my misting system which keeps the soil (ABG mix) pretty damp most of the time.
Re: Philodendron plant care?
What kind of lighting do you use? I have philo in two of my tanks and it grows insanely quick. I use a beamswork 6500k led And highly recommend it!

Re: Philodendron plant care?
oh, ya its 6500k spectrum. im using 2 of them in my exo terra copact top, with a head bulb and a compact forescent on the other part of my tank. i have glass under the LED's tho and also the florescent so the humidity is high enough
Re: Philodendron plant care?
How long have they been planted? Some philodendron species will take a while to acclimate before they really start growing. Others just grow very very slowly, like philodendron 'wend imbe'.

Re: Philodendron plant care?
6 weeks. Do you have to water them every few days or let the daily misting take care of it. I have been watering them every 3 days about which is just giving the base of them a lot more sprays then the normal misting I do on the tank every day
Re: Philodendron plant care?
A daily misting normally suffices for them.

Re: Philodendron plant care?
Are they yellowing? Wilting? Showing any signs of growth?

Re: Philodendron plant care?
One of the branches turned yellow and died. And some of the leaves are a little yellow but most appear to be green and healthy, just not growing really or maybe it is just very slowly. I may just be watering too much.
Re: Philodendron plant care?
The plants were planted in ABG mix, and I have some sphagnum moss and leaf litter over that. And the false bottom pebbles under the ABG mix with a substate barrier cloth
Re: Philodendron plant care?
I would say you're probably overwatering. I only water the philo planted in the background, the substrate usually stays moist enough with misting that I don't need to water them there. You don't want to swamp your substrate and have rotting issues either.
