Philodendron wreath care

Philodendron wreath care

I recently purchased a wreath with what is advised as a philodendron plant (heart shaped leafs green/white) 

I'm just wondering how you'd go about caring for this plant? It's in my kitchen on the wall next to the window so should be pretty filtered light, but because there's no soil and only the moss/roots it's attached to on the wreath how frequent should I be watering as I obviously can't go off the top layer of soil damp/dry method.

Re: PHILODENDRON WREATH CARE

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @ashleigheee. We have a lot of experienced gardeners who I am hoping will be able to offer you their insight. 

 

Could you please share a photo of the wreath so we can have a picture of what you are working with? If there is no soil at all then you may have to soak the wreath in the sink overnight once a week to keep the moss moist. @MitchellMc might have a few more suggestions when he is back on Friday. Let me tag @Noelle who has a wealth of plant wisdom and may be able to suggest some solutions for you.

Re: Philodendron wreath care

Hi @ashleigheee,

 

As @JaneK has suggested, I would advise thoroughly soaking the moss/roots once a week and letting the excess water drip out before re-hanging. Depending on the surface you have it mounted to, you could instead mist the moss with a spray bottle a few times a week.

 

I'll be looking forward to seeing some images of the wreath.

 

Please let me know if you need further help or had questions.
