Philodendron Mayoi

Meet the Philodendron Mayoi, a sweetheart of a plant that's sure to capture your heart with its elegant, palm-frond-like leaves. This Tahiti native is a bit of a diva, but don't worry, with the right care, it'll thrive and bring a touch of tropical flair to your home.

Lighting: Bright, indirect light is this plant's love language. Direct sunlight can scorch those beautiful leaves, so find a spot with plenty of natural light, but not too intense. East- or west-facing windows are perfect.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Don't let it sit in waterlogged soil, or root rot might set in. And please, no ice-cold water! Room temperature water is just right.

Humidity: This plant adores a humid environment, typically above 50%. You can place it on a tray with pebbles and water to create a mini-greenhouse effect. As the water evaporates, it'll surround your plant with the perfect amount of moisture.

Soil: A well-draining potting mix is essential. You can create your own by mixing peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite. This will ensure the roots stay healthy and the soil doesn't become too waterlogged.

Fertilizer: Feed your Philodendron Mayoi with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Dilute the fertilizer to half the recommended strength to avoid burning those delicate roots.

Temperature: Keep your plant in an area with a consistent temperature between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid placing it near drafty windows, air conditioning vents, or extreme temperatures.

With these care tips, your Philodendron Mayoi will flourish and become the envy of all your plant-loving friends. Happy planting, and remember, a little love and care go a long way!
