Humidity
Philodendron 'Hope' doesn’t require additional humidity. Plants absorb most water through their root system rather than their leaves, so the best way to provide humidity for your plants is through watering the soil.
Soil
Philodendron 'Hope' does best in well-draining soil. A good soil will contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir as well as perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage. Adding a handful of perlite to regular store-bought potting soil should do the trick!
Fertilizer
Philodendron 'Hope' should be repotted after it doubles in size or once a year, whichever comes first. Fresh potting soil has all the nutrients your plant needs, so as long as it’s refreshed yearly, you shouldn’t need to use fertilizer. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
Native Region
Philodendron 'Hope' is native to Tropical South America.

What other plant parents say









beautiful easy care plant. she grows quickly and has popped out Many new leaves since I got her. they start small but get big. i have her in a north facing window watering when the soil is fairly dry and humidify every day and she seems like she’s doing well








I love my philo hope! She’s absolutely beautiful and seems to be thriving even in the low light of my northeast facing apartment window. She’s been putting out giant leaves regularly and does well being watered once her soil gets dry. Such a beautiful, low maintenance plant.
