This month the featured houseplant of the month is Philodendrons. There are so many different types of philodendrons and we love them all! There is a philodendron for any space in your home. Philodendrons can be trailing, upright, small or large. Many philodendrons have unique shaped or colored leaves. Some of our favorites are Brasil, Moonlight, Thai Constellation, and Peltatum. Philodendrons like bright indirect light. Philodendrons can have issues with root rot, so let them dry out between waterings. Philodendrons don’t have many issues with pests. Aphids can cause some problems, but they can be treated with insecticidal soap. Philodendrons are native to Central and South America. Because they are tropical plants, philodendrons may require higher humidity. It is also best to keep away from drafts. Some philodendrons can climb, so they may need support from a moss pole or stake. They can be easily propagated using cuttings. Philodendrons can be fertilized during the spring and summer.
Choosing the perfect houseplant to buy starts with matching the plant to your home. Think about the amount of natural light, the temperature, and who shares your space. Some plants thrive in low light, others love bright sunlight, and there are safe options for homes with kids or pets. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide which houseplant to buy:
For bright, sunny areas, consider plants like Philodendrons, Succulents, Cacti, and Rubber Plants.
If your space doesn’t get much direct sunlight, these plants are a great choice. Snake Plants, Pothos, ZZ Plants, and Peace Lilies all thrive in low light and are easy to care for.
For a worry-free choice, go with non-toxic plants like Parlor Palms, Calatheas, Spider Plants, and Boston Ferns.
