Philodendron 'Pluto' is part of the Araceae family and is an unpatented cultivar created by Cora McColley. It is a compact self-heading plant with broad leaves and hooked lobes, leaves emerge a reddish brown to bronze colour before turning green.

Genus name comes from the Greek ‘philo’ meaning loving and ‘dendro’ meaning tree.

 

Light: Bright indirect light, meaning the plant sees the sun for 0-4 hours per day - this could be through trees or a translucent curtain, it’s important for the plant to see the sky in order to thrive. 

Water: Allow the first 2-3 inches of mix to dry out, pour water slowly over the top and allow the water to pass through the drainage holes.

Potting mix: A well draining mix composed of coco coir, perlite or vermiculite, orchid bark and worm castings.
