Philodendron 'Dean McDowell'

The Philodendron 'Dean McDowell' is a highly sought-after hybrid philodendron, prized for its large, heart-shaped leaves with deeply pronounced veins and a slightly quilted texture. Its rich green foliage becomes increasingly impressive as the plant matures, especially when allowed to crawl or spread naturally.

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Good lighting encourages larger, more strongly veined leaves.

• Water: Water when the top few centimetres of the soil are dry. It prefers an airy, rich, well-draining potting mix.

• Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity to maintain broad, supple, healthy foliage.

• Temperature: Keep warm, ideally above 18°C. Avoid cold temperatures and drafts.

• Growth habit: A crawling philodendron. It prefers a wide pot or room to spread horizontally rather than a vertical support.
