Philodendron Majestic Care Summary

Introduction

The philodendron majestic is a stunning hybrid of the philodendron verrucosum and philodendron sodiroi, taking on beautiful characteristics from both plants. It has the shape and size of the verrucosum but some silver areas and patterns from the sodiroi. It is a really impressive plant.

Philodendron Majestic Light Needs

Bright indirect sunlight is the way to go! No direct sun though, they do well to the side of a south facing window so they get a lot of light but are shaded from direct midday sun.

How Often to Water

Check the plant every week, stick your finger in the soil. Only water it if the top 50% is dry.

Tip: keep soil a little bit moist, letting it almost dry out before watering it again. They must not sit in soggy soil as they can get root easily. Make sure you don’t leave any water int eh bottom saucer after watering.

Fertilizer

Feed your plant every month in spring and summer. Use a balanced feed or one higher in nitrogen.

Soil

You want a well draining medium that does not let the plant sit in waterlogged soil. For more on Philodendron soil see our guide on what to buy or how to make your own: Philodendron Soil.

When To Repot

You can repot it any time of year really, but definitely check it in spring to be sure it has space to grow as the weather gets better.

Tip: give them a moss pole or trellis to help them climb, keep them sturdy and to show off those impressive leaves. Importantly it will help to encourage bigger leaf growth.
