Plant Details:

Majestic Heart-Shaped Leaves: The Philodendron Joepii's most striking feature is its magnificent heart-shaped leaves. These lush, dark green leaves provide an elegant backdrop to any indoor space and have a glossy surface that glistens in the light. The veins are prominently displayed, enhancing the leaf's beauty.

Humidity Enthusiast: As a tropical plant, the Philodendron Joepii thrives in environments with higher humidity levels. It readily produces aerial roots, demonstrating its desire to anchor itself to a supporting structure. Providing it with such support allows it to display its natural growth habit and maintain its health and beauty.

Spathe Splendor: While the Philodendron Joepii may produce inconspicuous small flowers, its real showstopper is the spathe. When it flowers, a cluster of these colorful spathes emerges, ranging from green to red or maroon. These showy spathes add a captivating dimension to your indoor garden.

Care Instructions:
Caring for your Philodendron Joepii is a rewarding experience that allows you to showcase its unique features and vibrant spathes. Here are some care tips to ensure its optimal growth:

Initial Care: Prior to shipping, this house plant will be carefully packaged with her cup to contain the roots. We will make every effort possible to protect her during shipping. However, there is a chance that some branches may become damaged or some leaves may wilt if the soil gets too dry. Make sure to immediately open the package upon arrival and unwrap your plant. Provide her with water and a chance to settle, and she should be fine. If she is wilting, water and a light misting should help her recover quickly. Once she has had time to recover from the shipping process, please feel free to up-pot her to a new container. She will need chunky soil that is well draining. Do not up-pot into a significantly larger container, as you do not want your plant to spend all her effort on creating roots. She will be much happier with a gradual increase in container size.

We try our hardest to package our plants securely, but cannot guarantee it’s condition at arrival. We will only use USPS Priority shipping to ensure the shortest time possible in transit to help protect the plant.

If you have any issues, please contact me first before leaving any negative feedback! I am always willing to work with you.

Lighting: Provide your Philodendron Joepii with bright, indirect light for the best results. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, brighter, filtered light enhances its leaf coloration and overall appearance.

Temperature: This tropical beauty thrives in temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Shield it from drafts and avoid placing it in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations.

Watering: Water your Philodendron Joepii thoroughly and allow the top inch (2.5 cm) of the soil to dry out before watering again. Aim for consistent moisture without overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Remember, it's always better to underwater than overwater.

Humidity: Maintain higher humidity levels to accommodate this tropical enthusiast. Consider using a humidifier or misting the leaves regularly to create a humid microclimate.

Soil and Potting: Plant your Philodendron Joepii in well-draining soil. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and a quality indoor plant potting mix will provide the ideal growing conditions. Repotting may be needed every 1 to 2 years or when the plant outgrows its current pot.

Fertilization: Feed your Philodendron Joepii with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength. Apply every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) to nourish its lush foliage and promote healthy growth.

Pruning and Maintenance: Regularly inspect your plant for any yellowing or damaged leaves and trim them using clean, sharp pruning shears. Pruning helps maintain the plant's shape and encourages new growth.

Structural Support: To showcase the plant's elegant growth habit and accommodate its aerial roots, provide it with a suitable support structure, such as a trellis or moss pole.

Houseplants will be shipped between Monday and Wednesday morning. This is for the safety of the plant – we want to reduce potential problems of being stuck in shipping over weekends.

Upon receipt of plant – carefully open and remove plant from package. Houseplants shipped in a container should be given 2-3 days to acclimate prior to repotting. Be careful not to repot up too quickly – they do not like large pots! They will do better with pots just slightly bigger than their prior pots. This encourages them to continue to focus on overall growth, and not just root growth. Soil should be moist when planting, then they should be watered. Soil must be well draining. Soil mix should be chunky – use perlite, lyca balls, bark, charcoal, peat moss, and soil to ensure a good mix. Houseplants will also benefit from the addition of mosquito bits in their soil to reduce chances of fungus gnats in their soil. Water every 3-5 days when the soil has dried out. All containers for plants must have drainage holes. Keep the soil moist, but not soaking, and never let them sit in standing water as this can cause root rot.
