Difficulty:

Philodendron Tortum Albo requires consistent humidity and bright, indirect light to maintain its striking appearance. Overexposure to direct sunlight can cause the variegation to burn or lose its vibrancy, so it’s best to keep it in a location with filtered light. The plant needs well-draining soil, and overwatering should be avoided to prevent root rot. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should dry out slightly between waterings. This variety is best suited for experienced plant owners who can provide the right conditions to preserve its unique leaf shape and variegation.
