Philodendron Majestic
The Philodendron 'Majestic' is a beautiful and popular houseplant known for its large, glossy leaves and easy-to-maintain nature. Here are some care tips to help you keep your Philodendron 'Majestic' healthy and thriving:
Light:
Provide bright, indirect light for your Philodendron 'Majestic.' Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. It can tolerate moderate to low light conditions but will grow best with ample indirect light.
Temperature:
Maintain a consistent indoor temperature between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid exposing the plant to drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations.
Humidity:
Philodendron 'Majestic' benefits from higher humidity levels. Aim to keep the humidity around 50% or higher. You can achieve this by using a humidity tray, room humidifier, or misting the plant regularly. (the lower end humidity does sometimes cause new leaves to get dried and stuck and may need some help unravelling. You can do so with a few sprits of your neem oil/soap diluted mix and a little massaging)
Watering:
Allow the top inch (2.5 cm) of the soil to dry out before watering. Water thoroughly, but make sure the pot has good drainage to prevent overwatering and root rot.
Adjust the frequency of watering depending on your home's temperature and humidity levels. In winter, reduce watering as the plant's growth slows down.
Potting Mix:
Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A mix formulated for aroids or tropical plants works well.
Fertilizing:
Feed your Philodendron 'Majestic' with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
Pruning:
Prune your plant as needed to remove dead or yellowing leaves and to maintain its shape. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears.
Support:
As the plant grows, you may need to provide a stake or trellis to support its upright growth and prevent it from becoming leggy.
Repotting:
Repot your Philodendron 'Majestic' when it becomes root-bound or outgrows its current pot. Spring is a good time for repotting. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage.
Pests and Diseases:
Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests such as mealybugs and spider mites. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
Toxicity:
Keep the plant out of reach of pets and children, as philodendrons are toxic if ingested.
With proper care, your Philodendron 'Majestic' should thrive and continue to produce its attractive, large leaves. It's a rewarding plant to have in your indoor garden due to its striking appearance and ease of care.
