Cultural
information: Philodendron Autumn is a splendid new hybrid
Philodendron. The new leaves emerge a lustrous copper-bronze
fading to dark glossy olive when mature.
Place Philodendron 'Autumn' in bright filtered indirect light to
maintain its vivid coloration. If the plant is placed in to low
of lighting the new foliage will develop olive green instead of
coppery-bronze. East , filtered south, or west windows should do
nicely. Excessive heat can burn and curl the leaves. Keep hybrid
Philodendrons away from cold drafts.
Check Philodendron Autumn for watering a couple of times per
week until you become familiar with the plants needs. Allow the
surface soil to dry down about 1/2" on small plants and
1" or so on larger plants before watering. Apply water all
the way around the plant allowing some water to run from the
drainage holes. Remove any excess water from the drip tray within
a couple of hours to help prevent root rot.
Feed Philodendron Autumn monthly when actively growing with
Peter's Houseplant Special. Feed quarterly if inactive.
It is extremely difficult to propagate hybrid Philodendrons and
is not recommended. Some may be patented varieties and illegal to
propagate.
Common houseplant pests can include: Aphids or Foliar Mealy
bug.
Philodendron 'Autumn' and other hybrid Philodendrons are generally available in 6" and
8" containers at your local greenhouse or garden center.
