Philodendron Q&A
Why are my leaves turning yellow?
Just a few yellowing leaves is a sign of aging and nothing to worry about. However if you notice many leaves turning yellow all at once it is likely a sign that your Philodendron is receiving too much light. Philodendrons do best in bright, indirect light.
Why are my leaves drooping?
Droopy leaves can be a sign of both over watering and under watering. It is best to look at the soil rather than the leaves when deciding to wether or not to water your plant. When the top 2-3 inches of soil is dry it is time to water your philodendron.
Why are my leaves curling?
This is a sign of extreme under watering. Curled leaves with brown tips generally indicate your plant's soil has completely dried out. Fill a tub or sink with about 3-4 inches of room temperature water. Place your plant in the tub and let it to soak up the water through the drainage hole for at least 45 minutes. When the soil is evenly damp you can place it back in its regular spot. It is important to maintain a consistent watering schedule by watering when the top 2-3 inches of soil is dry.
