4” Philodendron Strawberry Shake
The Strawberry Shake Philodendron is a unique and attractive houseplant known for its striking foliage. Its leaves are a mix of green and pink, resembling a strawberry milkshake. To care for it:
1. Light: Provide bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sun to prevent leaf burn.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
3. Humidity: Maintain higher humidity levels by misting the plant or using a humidity tray.
4. Temperature: Keep it in a warm environment, ideally between 65-80°F (18-27°C).
5. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
6. Pruning: Trim leggy or yellowing stems to encourage bushier growth.
7. Repotting: Repot when the plant outgrows its pot, usually every 2-3 years.
With proper care, your Strawberry Shake Philodendron will thrive and add a vibrant touch to your indoor space.
