New philodendron 'Burgundy' and care tips?
New plant!!
I think this will be my last baby for a while as I have literally no space left, a low budget, and I need plant supplies- not new plants. 😅 However, this week I spent a long time cleaning and wanted to reward myself! Originally set out for a prince of orange, but they all looked a little sad and I found this guy with hints of pink and giant leaves for $20!! I’m super happy and open to any suggestions. This is my 6th? Philodendron!
There is quite a bit of calcium buildup on the leaves, and some ruffling on the edges of the newest leaf… I think it probably just got stuck. Is leaf shine safe to use, or a mixture of neem and dish soap (diluted) to protect against pets and clean? I’m very happy and proud! 😁♥️ #PhiloFlock #burgundyprincessphilodendron #NotToBeDramaticButIWouldDieForThisLeaf #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewPlants #NewGrowth #alltangosposts @Nightshade

Oooh! She's gorgeous! 💚 That's a steal for $20!
She'll like the pole. Once you repot her, if you don't have your own philo mix already, the Miracle Grow tropical mix, orchid mix, and worm castings is a good mix for your philo.
Is this your first #Philodendron @tango ?

@AwesomePlants she isn’t, but definitely would be my first repotting. I have the indoor plant mix and all the other supplies… would indoor work instead of tropical? 🧐
@sarahsalith @peter1 @kscape @TJphilobsessed come see my new plant! 🤣 and @ForFoxSake I know you have a lot of philos so any tips?
@AwesomePlants Oh wow! Sounds good, I think I’ve seen it at my local store so I’ll go take a look! I wonder what the difference is? Maybe some #experiments are in store!
@AwesomePlants ohh interesting! I will definitely try it out. And would a little more perlite hurt?
@tango that is a steal!! Beautiful philodendron!! @AwesomePlants @sarahsalith I just ordered some coco coir from Amazon. I’m going to try my hand at mixing my own soil. Coco coir, perlite, worm castings and maybe some orchid bark. Does that sound like a good combo for philos??
@sarahsalith awww thank you! I figured that all of you Greggers are my friends now and my #plantfamily so I might as well let everyone see me and not just my dog Daizy. Although…she’s much cuter. 😂🐾
@sarahsalith right!? 😁 And about the hashtag… it does the same thing for me. 😂 @TJphilobsessed thank you!!! What I thought. 😊
@DevotedMugwort philodendron pink princess! Used to be realoy expensive but doen to $50-85 rn… I got mine for $8 mispriced and almost dying but she survived!
@DevotedMugwort haha that’s what I thought. 😁 Glad you like her! It’s taken a few months to get to this point but it was entirely worth it. Great plant, I definitely reccomend!
@Sleepysunday thank you!! That sounds very helpful, I think I’m going to repot in a week or 2, once I find a good pot and buy the right soil!
@DashingGray if only I could get the spots off… 🥲 but someday yes!!!! 😊
