Hi LariAnn-

Is there any general advice that would apply to many Philodendrons- like a check list to go through if a plant appears to be languishing.?
Light
Water
Soil (drainage)

Hi Mike,
I have Philo monstera & variegated in the ground- Prince of Orange (although having moved it around to a dozen locations remains, and never seems happy) -and 2 other Philos I'm not sure the name of- Under a small Pear tree. During the summer they get morning and late afternoon sun, but borders right along the sunline in the back garden, so there is very bright afternoon light, plus the reflective gravel. The bed is a planned wet zone, humus rich which retains moisture longer although well drained. Winter time the plants receive more sunlight because of the absence of tree leaves, but still receives shade from adjacent deck and garage structures.
