Care Tips for Philodendron ‘McColley’s Finale’
1.Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant colors. Can tolerate lower light but may experience slower growth and less vivid foliage. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
2.Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Reduce watering slightly in winter when growth slows.
3.Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity (50% or more). Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier for best results, especially in drier environments.
4.Temperature: Loves warmth—ideal range is 65–80°F (18–27°C). Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F (15°C).
5.Soil: Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix enriched with perlite or orchid bark for better aeration and moisture retention.
6.Feeding: Fertilize with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Skip feeding in fall and winter.
7.Pruning: Remove yellow or damaged leaves to keep the plant healthy and encourage new growth. Pruning also helps maintain its compact shape.
8.Pet Safety:Toxic if ingested by pets and humans due to calcium oxalate crystals. Keep out of reach of curious pets and children.
With its fiery foliage and easygoing nature, the Philodendron ‘McColley’s Finale’ is a perfect choice for adding warmth and a tropical flair to your home! 🌿🔥🌺
