Philodendron domesticum, commonly known as the Spadeleaf Philodendron or Burgundy Philodendron, is a tropical plant known for its large, glossy, spade-shaped leaves. It's a climbing Philodendron that can add a touch of the tropics to any interior space. The leaves are typically a deep green, but can also have a hint of burgundy, especially on the undersides, and they develop long, deep lobes as they mature. This plant is relatively easy to care for, making it a popular choice for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. Its ability to purify the air is an added benefit, as it can help remove toxins and provide a cleaner indoor atmosphere.

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

Care Guide

How to take care of Philodendron Domesticum

Sun: Indirect

Philodendron Domesticum should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Medium - Bright

Philodendron Domesticum will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

Philodendron Domesticum needs to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: Medium

Philodendron Domesticum will do well in average humidity environments but will appreciate a little bit of humidity if provided, give them a mist daily or get a humidifier.

Pet Caution

Philodendron Domesticum is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Plant Story

Introducing the Philodendron Domesticum, commonly known as the Spadeleaf Philodendron or Burgundy Philodendron, a distinguished and elegant houseplant that not only enhances the aesthetic of any indoor space but also symbolizes growth, resilience, and the nurturing of personal spaces.

The Philodendron Domesticum is celebrated for its large, glossy, spade-shaped leaves, which can add a lush, tropical feel to any environment. The leaves often exhibit a deep green hue with a shiny surface, making this plant a vibrant addition to indoor settings. It's particularly appreciated for its ability to adapt and thrive in a variety of indoor conditions, making it a popular choice for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts.

Caring for the Philodendron Domesticum involves providing it with bright, indirect light to promote healthy growth and preserve the vibrancy of its leaves. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, optimal growth is achieved under brighter indirect lighting. This plant's preference for indirect light serves as a reminder that even in less-than-ideal conditions, growth and adaptation are possible.

Watering your Philodendron Domesticum should be done with care, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensuring good drainage and a consistent watering schedule is crucial. This teaches us the importance of moderation and attentiveness in providing care, mirroring the thoughtful nurturing required in our personal growth and development.
