Caring Tips

Watering

Watering a Philodendron Burle Marx plant is much like watering most Philodendron plants. You want to keep the soil moist. You don’t want to drench the soil in water and you don’t want it to dry out. Over-watering your Philodendron is as dangerous as under-watering it. When you over-water, your plant is susceptible to different diseases. This includes the horrible root rot we discussed earlier. But root rot isn’t the only horrible condition your plant can go through. The other conditions are only a little better when it comes to plant damage. The only exception is during winter. When the cold months hit, you can let all the soil dry out before you water the Philodendron.

Light

A Philodendron Burle Marx needs bright but indirect light to thrive. It can live in low light but it’s not going to thrive the way you want it to. If your plant receives direct sunlight, the light will burn your plant’s leaves. The light can burn right through them. Direct sunlight can also cause black scorch marks on the leaves. At the very least, the sun will discolor the leaves and cause them to yellow. For indirect light, you should set your Philodendron in either a north or east-facing window. This way your plant is still getting bright enough light. But it’s not sitting right under sunlight.
