Philodendron narrow escape (small plant pot)

Philodendron ‘Narrow Escape’ is a stunning and relatively rare variety of philodendron known for its sleek, elongated, and deeply serrated leaves. It’s a tropical plant that is part of the Araceae family, which includes many other popular houseplants. Its elegant and narrow foliage adds a striking vertical element to any indoor space.

Key Features:

• Foliage: Long, narrow, lance-shaped leaves with wavy or serrated edges.
• Color: Vibrant green with a glossy finish, adding a fresh look to your home or office space.
• Growth Habit: Compact and upright, with the potential to become bushier over time if well-cared-for.

Care Instructions:

1. Light: It thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate lower light levels. However, insufficient light may lead to leggy growth.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer of soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot.
3. Humidity: As a tropical plant, it prefers higher humidity levels (around 60-80%). If the air is too dry, the leaf edges may brown.
4. Temperature: Ideal temperature range is between 65-80°F (18-27°C). It does not tolerate cold drafts, so keep it away from windows in winter.
5. Soil: A well-draining soil mix, preferably one designed for aroids, is best. You can mix perlite and orchid bark into regular potting soil for better aeration.
6. Fertilizer: Feed during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks.
7. Pruning and Propagation: Trim back any leggy growth to maintain shape. It can be propagated via stem cuttings placed in water or moist soil.
8. Toxicity: Philodendrons are toxic to pets and humans if ingested, so keep them out of reach of small children and animals.

This philodendron’s dramatic foliage and relatively easy care make it a favorite for plant enthusiasts looking to add a unique and exotic touch to their collection.
