About Strawberry Shake 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! āļø

Best Way to Water Pt. 2 Hey, everyone, Iām back again! Itās watering day for my Strawberry Shake, and itās got the tray/dish thingy as my Micans. How should I water this guy? Any other care tips that you point out are unnecessary but greatly appreciated! #HappyPlants #PlantMoms #philodendronstrawberryshake #wateringhelp I would also like to note that, according to community analysis, Cheerwine Float is under watered. Is there a good rule of thumb to perk her back up and keep her healthy? Iāve just been letting faucet water run in slowly until water starts to run out the drainage holes.

Whatās wrong w my š shake Philo??? š¼mornin folks!š¼ Iām reaching out today as I have a question⦠WHY WONāT my strawberry shake grow!? It gave a new leaf Iād say 2 months ago & It has legit done NOTHING since then. It gets about 6-8 hours bright indirect light in the window sill then gets an hour or 2 of grow light in the evening. Iāve tried lessening the light it receives, Iāve tried increasing it. Iāve moved the plant. It receives live worm castings fertilizer with every watering as well. It doesnāt appear to be root bound as there are no signs of roots coming out the bottom however since the substraye is so chunky I havenāt tried pulling the plant out to check either⦠(currently not in window sill but below it as itās getting its bottom watering from the tray) Iām at a loss here & idk what to do! Please share any / all tips & advice. šš«¶š» TIA š«¶š»š #HappyPlants #Philodendron #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #

I think I have to chop her up š I got this beautiful strawberry shake a little over a month ago and its roots seemed to be rotted or dried out. I cut them off and started over in stratum but still have not gotten any new roots and looks like small spots of rot are spreading on the stem. I guess my only option now is to chop her up and hope for the best? š also, she has strange texture on the stem of the newest leaf (which hasnāt changed or grown since I got it). It did lose one leaf since I got it and now they all just seem droopy #Philodendron #propogationstation #philostrawberryshake #helpneeded #help #GregGang #GreggersSupportingGreggers

Seeking opinions #Philodendron parents, anyone experienced with šstrawberry shakes? I just got my first one today and wondering if she'll get enough light in this spot. This is a West facing window with a sheer curtain. Thanksš„°

Root rot or dry rot? I got this beautiful philo strawberry shake ššŖ“ a few days ago from a plant show. After just checking the roots, some of them seemed to come off easily like dry rot, similar to my Hoyas. Would it be better to re root the plant completely? And in what medium? The rest of the plant looks super healthy. #Philodendron #helpneeded #help #GregGang #RootRot #GreggersSupportingGreggers
