Unpack Carefully: Gently remove the plant from its packaging.
Inspect the Plant: Check for any signs of damage from shipping.
Planting: Transfer the tissue culture plant to a pot with well-draining soil.
Light Requirements
Philodendrons thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Position your plant near a window with filtered light to ensure optimal growth.
Watering

Humidity: Philodendrons prefer a humid environment. Use a humidity tray or a humidifier to maintain the desired humidity levels.

Philodendron plants thrive in temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Keep your plant away from drafts, air conditioning vents, and heaters to avoid temperature fluctuations.
Fertilizing
Feed your Philodendron with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every four to six weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during the fall and winter months.
Pruning and Maintenance
Pruning: Regularly trim any dead or yellowing leaves to encourage healthy growth.
Cleaning: Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and allow the plant to breathe.
