PHILODENDRON PINK BIKINI
The Philodendron Pink Bikini leaves unfurl a vibrant pink before darkening to a deep green. They add an amazing splash of tropical colour to your collection.
WATER
Water your Philodendron Pink Bikini when the top quarter to half of the soil is dry. They are more susceptible to over watering than underwatering so if in doubt leave it a few more days.
LIGHT
Philodendron Pink Bikini prefer bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as this will burn the leaves. Too little light and you will get slow and leggy growth and lose some of the vibrant pink colour.
FERTILISING
You can feed your Philodendron Pink Bikini every 2 - 4 weeks during the spring and summer months.
SOIL
Your Philodendron Pink Bikini will enjoy a well draining soil mix. Visit our spoil bar and add Extra Perlite and orchid bark to a standard houseplant mix.
TEMPERATURE
Philodendron Pink Bikini prefer to be warm, most household temperatures will be fine as long as they are away from any cold drafts, radiators or air conditioning.
HUMIDITY
Your Philodendron Pink Bikini will enjoy a humidity boost. You can achieve this by placing the plant in a naturally more humid room such as a kitchen or bathroom, grouping plants together, using a pebble tray or investing in a humidifier. We don’t recommend misting.
TOXICITY
All Philodendrons are considered non toxic to humans and animals.
GENERAL WATERING TIPS
Place your plant, still in its plastic nursery pot, inside the decorative pot you've chosen. This setup allows the plant to enjoy the drainage and airflow provided by the nursery pot's holes, which are beneficial for root health.
When it’s time to water, you have two options:
1. Top Watering: Take the plant, nursery pot and all, out of the decorative pot and water it over a sink. Allow the water to drain completely before placing it back in the decorative pot to prevent water build up.
2. Bottom Watering: Place the nursery pot in a shallow dish of water and let the plant absorb moisture from the bottom. This method encourages the roots to grow downward and reduces the risk of overwatering.
Both methods help keep your plant healthy by promoting good drainage and root aeration.
