Philodendron Tuxla - 5x Seeds
A great plant for those who don't have a green thumb but are lovers of green foliage.
Philodendron Tuxla is a rare hybrid variety of philodendron incorporating the best traits from several different species. Initially grown in the United States as a house plant due to its deep green and extremely glossy leaves, this variety has also been successfully used in many different landscaping applications.
The long love-heart shaped leaves provide a stunning tropical looking backdrop to any garden.
Philodendron Tuxla plants can grow into large sprawling shrubs more than 3m in size if planted in fertile soil with a part shade aspect. When planted besides established trees, Philodendron Tuxla will often climb the trunk of the tree to find more direct light, providing a rainforest feel to any garden.
Philodendron Tuxla is a relatively easy to grow garden and/or house plant that does not require any maintenance, will tolerate soils with generally poor nutrition and is resistant to most common garden pests and diseases. This species is most often grown in pots.
Cover your pots with cling wrap or similar and place them in a warm sunny position. Keep moist but not soggy. Don't allow your soil/ potting medium to dry out.
Once the seedings start to emerge, you can start hardening them up by removing the plastic covering for increasing blocks of time. Eventually you can remove the covering altogether and mist them so they can get the humidity they need. Keep the soil moist while the seedlings are still small, but as they grow you can start letting the soil dry out a little more between waterings.
Do not be too hasty to discard seeds that have not yet germinated, seeds will often lay dormant (in hibernation almost) until the conditions are similar to their natural requirements for germination and sprouting to occur. Containers placed to one side & forgotten about will often surprise long after they were discarded.
