My first house plant! I love her #happyplants #newplantmom #plantshelfie
1ft to light, indirect
2” pot with drainage
Last watered 4 days ago
@SandraAlice A Philodendron Brasil should stay in a 2-inch plastic pot for about six to twelve months. Roots will usually grow out of the bottom drainage holes by then. This means it is time to move the plant into a larger home. When to RepotRoot growth: Look for roots creeping out of the bottom holes.Soil drying: Check if the soil dries out in less than two days.Slow growth: Notice if the vine stops growing during spring or summer.Plant size: Measure if the top growth is much bigger than the small pot. How to Move Up Choose size: Pick a pot that is only 1 or 2 inches wider than the old one.Keep material: Plastic or terracotta works well for the next size up. Add fresh soil: Use a light mix with perlite and orchid bark for good air flow.
Congrats! This is one of my favorite plants. You’ll love her! I don’t think she’s a Brasil though -maybe a heart leaf or a cream splash? They’re all related and they’re all wonderful. Can you take a pic of the leaves up close?

Thats what it was labeled as when I bought it, so I'm not sure
