Philodendron Sерд-leaf is also known as Sерд-leaf Vine, Split-leaf Philodendron, and Green宝石 Philodendron. It belongs to the Araceae family and the Green Velvet genus. Philodendron Sерд-leaf has the characteristics of evergreen, succulent vines, and strong climbing ability.
Philodendron Sерд-leaf prefers semi-shade, warm and humid climate, and dislikes direct sunlight. The best potting mix for Philodendron Sерд-leaf is a loamy soil rich in humus and good drainage, generally made up of one part of decomposed leaf soil, one part of garden soil, one part of peat soil, and a small amount of river sand and base fertilizer. When planting, a pillar can be placed in the pot, and 3-5 small seedlings can be planted around it to climb and grow. It prefers a high temperature and humid environment, and the potting soil must be kept moist, especially in summer, it should not be short of water, and water should also be sprayed on the leaves frequently; however, it should avoid waterlogging in the pot, otherwise, the leaves will easily turn yellow. Generally, water once a day in spring and summer, every 3-5 days in autumn; in winter, the amount of watering should be reduced but should not allow the potting soil to completely dry out.
In the growing season, it is necessary to pay attention to top-dressing frequently, generally fertilizing 1-2 times a month; in late autumn and winter, growth is slow or stops, and fertilization should be stopped. It prefers bright light but dislikes strong sunlight, and generally needs to be shaded by 50%-60% during the growing season; however, it can also tolerate a dark indoor environment, but too weak light for a long time can easily cause etiolation, internodes to become longer, and weak growth, which is not conducive to appreciation.
Propagation by cutting: The best time is from May to September, cut 2-3 healthy stems and insert them directly into coarse sand or sphagnum moss, keep them moist, with a temperature of 22-24°C, roots will grow in 20-25 days after insertion. Seed propagation: Use indoor seedling trays for sowing, with an optimal germination temperature of 25-30%, seeds will germinate in 10-15 days, and then transplant to an 8 cm pot when the seedlings are 5-6 cm tall. Division propagation: When the plant grows taller, cut the lateral branches with aerial roots directly for potting or pinch the tip first to promote more branching; when the lateral branches are 15-20 cm long, cut them with aerial roots together for potting.
