Jungle Fever Philodendron
About Jungle Fever Philodendron
Philodendrons grow aerial roots that grip the bark of trees, allowing them to grow over 20 feet tall! Their leaves change shape as they climb and can grow larger than a dinner plate. Fossils show Philodendrons growing as far back as 30 million years ago when South America was still connected to Antarctica! ❄️

How to fertilize Jungle Fever Philodendron
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Jungle Fever Philodendron after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Time to chop and prop? I think it’s time to chop and prop my Silver Sword… the bottom has gotten bare and is top heavy 🤣 #Philodendron #SilverSwordPhilodendron #Propagation where should i chop? I know between the nodes, but I can’t handle 14 new propagations! Also, is this sap normal? Very sticky and all over the stems (except for the bare bottom). If you say thrips, I will have a mid-life plant-parent crisis

My new plant, isn’t she a Beauty 🪴 💚. What should I name her ? #Philodendron #HappyPlants #PlantTherapy

let her flop? Hey! My pink princess that has been ñ growing rapidly for the last 2 years (i’ve propagated it twice) “fell over”. i’d actually much rather it grow down than up since it can’t really support itself growing up, but i wanted to see if you guys thought that was healthy/ ok for it? i haven’t repotted it in 2+ years.I also have 2 big propagation plants from it from forever ago that i just haven’t done anything with (they’re still in water). i’d love to know what i should do with them… put them all in the same pot? plant individually? idk… ah! it also has 2 babies that have been growing for a long time. so many things!!! #PinkPrincessPhilodendron

Just repotted Mollie! She’s definitely looking healthier! Can’t wait to see her grow!
-
I’m wondering if I should repot Mollie into dirt Mollie’s roots have had this cloudiness around them for some time, it’s still there even though I changed the water out yesterday! Is she sick? If so, how do I fix her?

Failed leaves #Philodendron I am at a loss with my philo melano. It has several failed leaves and I'm not sure why. It sits about a foot from west window and a bit off to side so not getting direct sun. Any ideas? I haven't had a new leaf in probably 6 months and the last one that actually developed is smaller than previous ones. Btw I live in Arizona, so not sure if maybe it's my dry air.

How is this plant propagated? #Philodendron

Isn't he gorgeous!? 😱😱😍 Yes, I have an addiction. I was at Lowe's this morning and saw a pitcher plant (in comments) and wanted to get it for my boyfriend but didn't. We were on the phone a couple of hours ago talking about it and I could tell he was bummed (even though he said he couldn't afford it right now) so I went back to see if it was still there. Of course it wasn't 😣 Then I saw this beautiful boy and I couldn't resist 😳😳😅🤣 #philodendron #happyplants #thewateringhole #whiteknightphilodendron

Thrips! Today I noticed tiny black specks moving around on my golden croc philo, knocked one off and captured a pic under a microscope, and google confirmed it’s an adult thrip! 😩😩😩 I’ll hit it with the neem spray #TheWateringHole taught me and maybe alternate with Cap Jacks weekly. I’ve been battling thrip larva on some other plants but finding adults is a first. 😭 Here are my questions: 1) I counted maybe 5, definitely less than 10 adults. All on one plant. How quickly can this infestation explode??? 2) I know I’m supposed to quarantine it, but I really don’t have the space. How far can these things fly? Would the opposite side of a large room be far enough? #thrips #PestControl #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SlinkyFivespot8 #help
