Philodendron 'Aurora-borealis' care

Among the quieter members of the genus, Philodendron 'Aurora-borealis' forms a compact rosette and settles quickly indoors.

Position it in morning sun with afternoon shade and rotate the pot monthly for even growth. Water sparingly, letting the pot dry almost through; the fastest way to lose one is a saucer left full.

It is happiest at a pebble tray in heated rooms, potted in a free-draining cactus-leaning mix. It is mildly irritating to pets if chewed, so shelve it accordingly.
