Philodendron Tiger Tooth

Philodendron Tiger Tooth

This plant grows up to ten feet high and eight feet wide.  The leaves have jagged edges and can grow to two feet long.  This plant is poisonous.  Fertilize every month during the spring through fall with a water soluble fertilizer.  Too much plant food causes excess salt build up in the soil that can result in leaf burn.  

 - Bright indirect light.  Lower light leaves turn dark green.

- Warm temperatures above 55 degrees.  Keep away from drafts and open doors.

- Grows best in rich, slightly alkaline soil

- Moist soil-during the winter, water less often, keeping the soil barely moist.

- Native to South America

* Like all philodendron, can be toxic if ingested by humans or pets.
