The Oakleaf Philodendron is a true gem for plant enthusiasts: this rare philodendron is a captivating addition to any collection. Its foliage is a masterpiece of nature, resembling intricate oak leaves with a mesmerising blend of deep green hues and elegant serrated edges.

While this Philodendron demands a bit more attention, its breathtaking beauty makes the effort worthwhile. Considered an intermediate to advanced-level plant, it rewards caretakers with a visually stunning display.

Hailing from tropical regions, the Oakleaf Philodendron thrives in medium to brightly filtered light and favours warm, humid conditions. Careful watering is crucial; maintain soil moisture while avoiding excessive dampness. Allow the soil to partially dry before providing water, ensuring a delicate balance for optimal growth.

As a slower-growing variety, the Oakleaf Philodendron is well-suited for smaller, well-lit spaces or as a focal point on tabletops. With time, it matures into an impressive floor-level display, adding a touch of sophistication to any environment.

Much like its counterparts, this plant contributes to indoor air purification, creating a healthier living space.

Toxicity: Philodendron's are toxic if consumed - keep out of reach of pets and children.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these care tips to keep your Philodendron happy and healthy.

• Light: Provide medium to bright filtered light for optimal growth.
• Water: Allow the top two-thirds of the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid prolonged dryness or excessive moisture.
• Humidity: While average room humidity suffices, higher humidity levels help prevent dry leaf edges and promote overall well-being.
• Fertiliser: Feed with a well-balanced organic fertiliser, such as Kelpak or Biotrissol once a month during the growing season (spring through summer). Skip fertilisation during the winter months.
