Care Guide
Light Bright, indirect is best
Velvet Philodendron grows well in low to medium indirect light. Brighter indirect light helps support fuller growth and richer color. Avoid harsh direct sun which can scorch leaves.
Water Easy + forgiving
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Aim for even moisture, not soggy soil. If you’re unsure, wait a day—overwatering is the most common issue for philodendrons.
Growth Trail or climb
Let it trail from shelves or train it upward on a moss pole for larger, more dramatic leaves. Pinching tips can encourage branching and a fuller look.
Styling tip: Pair with a tall planter, pedestal stand, or wall trellis so the vine can drape gracefully and “frame” a space.
48-Hour Arrival & Unboxing
Live plants can show minor stress after transit (softness, slight curl). This is typically temporary.
- Unbox promptly and remove all packing materials.
- Place the plant in bright, indirect light.
- Check soil moisture before watering—water only if needed.
- Give it 48 hours to settle before moving it around.
Pro tip: Avoid repotting immediately. Let the plant acclimate first, then repot once new growth resumes.
