HOW TO GROW DWARF TREE PHILODENDRON :

 

Step 1
Soak seeds for 24 hours prior to planting. Fill pots or seeding tray with a well draining seed raising soil mix and then surface sow seeds, sprinkle a light (1 mm) covering of further soil and mist spray with a spray bottle. Cover the pots/tray with some clear plastic kitchen wrap to maintain moisture and humidity inside the pots/tray and place in a warm, well lit but shady or partially shady position. This species needs warmth to germinate so if you are in a cooler climate or at at a cooler time of the year - a heat mat may be necessary. Ideal temperature needed for germination is 20-25°C/70-80°F Seeds will take between 2-8 weeks to germinate.

Step 2
Check daily that the soil is still moist and do not allow it to dry out,this will kill the seeds. Once germination begins you can begin to remove the kitchen wrap slowly over a week or two, this will help the seedling to acclimatise to the outside environment. Continue to keep in a warm, well lit, shaded position. 

Step 3
Once the seedlings are strong enough move transplant them gently into their own pot (if they are not already) to allow them room to grow a strong root system.

Step 4
If outdoor planting, they are quite happy in most positions but prefer a shaded area. Naturally this plant grows in warm, humid climates under the shade of larger trees, so a spot that mimics this is best. Leaves may lack their deep green lustre if out in full sun and may in hot sun; get leaf burn. Wait until winter is passed to plant Philodendron outdoors as it will not appreciate the transplant, especially if there is frost. This species will cope with most outdoor climates other than cold, in temperate climates they will need protection from frost and wind in the winter time, a protected outdoor area should be okay - let the plant be the judge whilst still in a pot! Philodendron is a popular indoor house plant so can still be grown in cool areas and brought inside for the winter. For indoor plants keep in a location where they do not get too much hot full sun through a window. They need 8-10 hours of light a day. Once established this plant is quite hardy and will not require very much attention
