Care Requirements:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate dimmer conditions compared to some other houseplants. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil has almost completely dried out. Reduce watering frequency during winter.
- Soil: Requires a well-draining potting mix with plenty of organic matter, such as coco coir, perlite, or vermicompost.
- Temperature & Humidity: Being a tropical plant, it thrives in a warm environment with higher humidity, between 15°C and 35°C.
- Repotting & Fertilizing: Repot when the plant doubles in size or annually. Fresh potting soil with nutrients usually suffices, so extensive fertilization is often unnecessary unless growth is slow.
Unique Features:
- Its striking golden-green foliage makes it a popular choice for adding a splash of color and modern sophistication to interiors.
- The 'Calkins Gold' has an upright and erect growth habit with more compact internodes compared to vining philodendrons.
