Philodendron Tortum
is a rare species of Philodendron that belongs to the Araceae family.
It is characterized by its long, narrow leaves that are deeply serrated and have a slightly wavy texture.
The plant produces small, white flowers that develop into greenish-white berries.
Care Instructions:
- Philodendron Tortum prefers bright, indirect light but can also tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
- The plant prefers well-draining soil and should be watered when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot.
- Philodendron Tortum benefits from regular fertilization during the growing season.
- The plant prefers moderate to high humidity levels, so consider misting the leaves regularly or placing a humidifier nearby.
- Philodendron Tortum is generally pest and disease-resistant but can occasionally be affected by spider mites, mealybugs, or scale insects.
Propagation:
- Philodendron Tortum can be propagated by stem cuttings.
- To propagate by stem cuttings, select a healthy stem and cut it just below a node. Place the cutting in a jar of water or in moist potting soil and roots should develop in a few weeks.
- Once the roots have developed, you can plant the cutting in a pot with well-draining soil and care for it as you would a mature plant.

WHAT GOES WRONG:
- Leaves droop, otherwise plant is healthy: too dry! Soak plant in a water.
- Leaves are poor color and no new grow – soil exhaustion – repot the plant or feed it regularly.
- Plant ceases to grow, foliage appears dull – temperature’s too low. Move to a warmer place.
- Lower leaves turn yellow and the drop – overwatering – allow plant to dry out until recovered and then water less often.
- Brown or black rings on leaf or at leaf edge – check that leaf is not touching a window in winter. Do not allow water stay on the leaf in direct sun.
