Philodendron Shangri-La

Philodendron Shangri-La is a new form of the popular “split leaf philodendron” that offers consumers a more elegant and well-kept looking plant. The Shangri-La’s habit is uniformly dense, clumping, and will not vine. This habit makes it more visually appealing than other selections of philodendron. It produces highly fingered (dissected) leaves at the juvenile stage, unlike other varieties. This gives it the look of a mature split-leaf philodendron on a much more diminutive plant. It also produces noticeably more stems per plant, which adds to its robust look. It is perfect for indoor gardens, desktops, offices or smaller containers.

Care

Light: Philodendrons do well in a range of light conditions. They prefer moderate to bright indirect light, but can tolerate shadier lighting conditions as well. Avoid direct sunlight.

Water: Keep the soil moist at all times. Allow the top of the soil to dry out slightly before re-watering. Will tolerate some degree of drought better than having its roots too wet.

Temperature/Humidity: Average to warm household temperatures from 18-28°C and short periods down to 12°C at an absolute push. Avoid cold draughts. Comfortable in average household humidity.
Soil/Repotting: Well draining, nutrient rich potting soil.

Care Tips: Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust. Please note, leaves can develop yellow patches after a change in temperature or environment. These can be removed at the base of the stem if required

Philodendrons were part of NASA clean air study and found effective in improving indoor air quality by removing formaldehyde.
