How to care for Philodendron Jacquinii

Water

Philodendron Jacquinii should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil

Philodendron Jacquinii loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Lighting

Philodendron Jacquinii can survive in low light conditions, making them ideal for rooms that are far from windows or other light sources. However, for best results, place the plant less than 6 feet from a south-facing window to ensure it receives enough light.

Dormancy

A typical dormancy pattern is not present in the Philodendron Jacquinii. If the growth slows down dramatically, confirm that the plant is getting enough sunlight and water for optimal growth.

Toxicity

Ploi's records do not contain confirmed information on the toxicity of this particular plant. In the event of accidental ingestion of plant material with questionable toxicity by you, a family member, or a pet, it is always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.

Humidity

The Philodendron Jacquinii is not in need of supplementary humidity. Most water is taken in by plants through their roots, thus soil watering is the most efficient way to provide humidity to your plants.

Fertilizer

The Philodendron Jacquinii should be repotted either when it doubles in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing new potting soil with all the vital nutrients annually is enough to support the growth of the plant, and thus, there is no need for fertilizer. Remember that plants derive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.

Region of origin

Philodendron Jacquinii’s native range is Central, South America, and the Caribbean.
