🪴 Nutrients

How to fertilize Black-gold Philodendron

Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for Black-gold Philodendron: repot after 2X growth

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 Black-gold Philodendron after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Pest or sun damage? Not sure if this leaf is wonky because it’s the first leaf that has grown since I brought it home or what? It has brown splotches on it and the edges are wonky and wavy. She gets a couple hours of morning sun and I haven’t noticed any new sun spots on any of the existing leaves. Unsure if maybe it has some kind of pest, haven’t noticed anything other than a couple fungus gnats that I treated for and haven’t seen in a few weeks.
