Good For You!
Philodendrons are a great addition to your bedroom. They create a calm, cozy environment and promote a good night's sleep. Also, philodendrons are excellent air-purifying plants! Filtering out airborne toxins such as trichloroethylene and benzene from the air.
Is the Philodendron ‘Black Cardinal’ the right plant for me?
Philodendron plants are fairly easy to care for. They prefer the top 2” of the soil to dry in between watering as they are quite susceptible to stem rot. Place your plant in a location with bright, indirect light or filtered bright light and watch it grow! The large leaves are absolutely stunning but need regular dusting to ensure they can photosynthesize at their optimal levels.
