Philodendron McDowell – The Elegant Creeping Giant

Philodendron McDowell is a hybrid of Gloriosum and Pastazanum, featuring massive, heart-shaped leaves with striking veins. It’s a low-maintenance yet dramatic plant that thrives in indoor environments.

Why Philodendron McDowell Stands Out

• Develops large, leathery leaves with bright white veins
• Grows as a crawling plant, making it perfect for horizontal planters
• Displays a resilient and fast-growing nature, ideal for collectors

Preferred Light & Temperature Conditions

• Flourishes in bright, indirect sunlight but tolerates moderate light
• Requires high humidity levels (above 60%) for optimal growth
• Enjoys temperatures between 65-85°F

Watering & Feeding Guidelines

• Prefers moist but well-draining soil with ample aeration
• Water when the top inch of soil dries out to avoid root issues
• Benefits from monthly applications of organic liquid fertilizer

Pest Prevention: Keeping McDowell’s Foliage Pristine

• Most common threats: Aphids and fungus gnats
• Best preventative measures:
• Keep the topsoil dry to deter gnats from breeding
• Introduce natural predators like predatory mites for aphid control
• Use a mild hydrogen peroxide solution in watering to kill larvae
