Philodendron Mayoi Light Needs
Philodendron mayois love bright indirect sunlight. Give them as much as you can without direct sun. I keep most of my philodendrons in a south facing room but not in front of the window, just off to the side.
How Often To Water
Check the soil with your finger weekly, do not water them if the top half is still wet.
Fertilizer
A balanced feed every 3 weeks in the spring and summer is ideal. Make sure it is well diluted, you do not want fertilizer burn.
Soil
A well draining, loose, organic soil is ideal. I use a mix of perlite, potting compost and orchid bark in equal parts
When To Repot
Check the plant in Spring to make sure it has room to grow in the warmer months.
Humidity
60%-70% is best, so get a humidity meter and a pebble tray with water to up the ambient humidity around the plant.
Temperature
They’ll be fine most homes, aim for an ideal temperature range of 18°C to 25°C (64-77°F).
How To Propagate Philodendron Mayoi
Propagate your mayoi with a stem cutting with one leaf and one node. Root it in a cup of moist sphagnum moss for a month or two, keeping it humid and moist and in in direct sunlight. Then once roots are established you can pot it up into soil and treat as a juvenile plant.
