30 - 40cm Philodendron Bob Cee 17cm Pot House Plant
Philodendron 'Bob Cee' is a hybrid variety known for its vibrant, lush foliage. It's characterised by its large, branch-shaped leaves that are dark green in colour, and as they mature, can exhibit an attractive glossy sheen. The plant's growth habit is climbing or trailing, and given the right conditions, it can become quite expansive.
Here's a guide on how to care for your Philodendron 'Bob Cee':
Light: This plant prefers bright, indirect light. Exposure to direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, while too little light can lead to leggy growth and loss of vitality. A north or east-facing window is typically ideal.
Water: Water your Philodendron 'Bob Cee' when the top inch or so of soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's crucial to ensure the plant is in a pot with good drainage and the soil doesn't remain waterlogged.
Humidity: As a tropical plant, Philodendron 'Bob Cee' enjoys a humid environment. If your home's air is dry, consider using a pebble tray with water, a humidifier, or misting the plant regularly.
Temperature: This plant prefers warmer temperatures, generally between 65-85°F (18-29°C), and should be protected from cold drafts and sudden temperature drops.
Soil: A well-draining, peat-based potting mix is ideal for this plant. You can enhance drainage by adding perlite, bark, or coarse sand to the mix.
Fertilizer: Feed your 'Bob Cee' every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted to half the recommended strength. Reduce fertilizing to once a month during fall and winter.
Repotting: Repot your 'Bob Cee' every couple of years or when it becomes root-bound. This not only gives the plant more room to grow but also provides fresh, nutrient-rich soil.
Pruning: Prune any yellowing or dead leaves to keep the plant healthy and attractive. Regular pruning also helps control the plant's size and encourages bushier growth.
Propagation: 'Bob Cee' is typically propagated by stem cuttings. Make sure to cut just below a leaf node, and then you can root the cutting in water or directly in soil.
Keep in mind that like other Philodendrons, 'Bob Cee' is toxic if ingested, so keep it away from pets and children.
With appropriate care, your Philodendron 'Bob Cee' can grow into a stunning houseplant, adding a touch of tropical appeal to your indoor space. It's fairly easy to care for and can be quite resilient, making it a good choice for both beginner and experienced plant enthusiasts.
