Philodendron Horse Head

Philodendron Horse Head is a striking vining plant with large, lobed leaves reminiscent of a horse's head. I've raised these plants from small cuttings into lush specimens with climbing vines and glossy foliage. They bring a touch of the tropics to any space.

Light Requirements

It loves bright, indirect light. A spot near a window with filtered sun keeps its leaves full and deeply colored. Direct sun can scorch the foliage, while too little light may cause long, sparse vines.

Watering

Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering thoroughly. These plants enjoy regular moisture but hate sitting in water. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while under-watering may cause drooping leaves.

Soil

A loose, well draining potting mix enriched with perlite and organic matter suits it best. Dense soils can suffocate the roots, so ensure good aeration.

Humidity and Temperature

Higher humidity keeps the leaves glossy and lush. Average household humidity is usually sufficient but misting or a humidifier during dry months will encourage larger leaves.

Growth Habits

Philodendron Horse Head is a natural climber and will benefit from a stake or moss pole. With proper care, it produces long vines and can be trained to climb or cascade.
