GROWING INDOORS

Philodendron Tortum is a unique tropical with thin delicate leaves. New leaves emerge in a spiraled cocoon and slowly unfurl into a lacy frond. Tortum will climb a post or support if given the opportunity. 

GROWING OUTDOORS

Philodendron grow very well outdoors, but they are not winter hardy and should be brought inside once temperatures dip below 55 degrees. Spring through Fall, keep your Philodendron in Full to Partial Shade and make sure it is not receiving any hot, direct sun. Water once your plant has had a chance to dry out, usually about every 4-5 days outdoors with moderate temperatures. During periods of extreme heat, you may need to water your Philodendron every 2-3 days.
