How to Care for Your Philodendron 'Summer Glory'

Place your Summer Glory in a spot with bright, indirect light to encourage vibrant color development and large leaf growth. Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy — overwatering can lead to root rot. Aroid or chunky potting mix works best to ensure good drainage and airflow to the roots.

Maintain indoor humidity above 50% if possible, especially in dry climates, to support healthy leaf expansion and prevent browning edges. Wipe leaves occasionally to let the plant photosynthesize fully and shine.
