Culture Instruction for Philodendrons and 
Plants Closely Related. These are plants 
of easy culture. They prefer a high 
humidity but are easily grown in the 
home if given enough water. Keep soil 
moist but have good drainage and have 
an open soil. Best soil mixture is one 
part Acid Peat Moss, one part cow 
manure and one part good loam. 
Liquid fertilizer used according to direc- 
tions on the container is best for this 
type plant. Do not chill your Philoden- 
drons. They are Tropicals and the room 
in which these are kept should not have 
a temperature that falls below 50 de- 
grees. Probably the easiest to grow and 
most hardy is the Philodendron Pan- 
duriforme.
