Philodendron scandens ssp. oxycardium ‘Frilly Philly’

Yes, this plant prefers humidity levels above 60%. It is an excellent choice for vivariums or terrariums where moisture is naturally retained, but it can also adapt to standard indoor conditions if misted regularly.

While it is specifically prized for bioactive enclosures and terrariums, it grows beautifully in standard pots as well. Ensure you use a well-draining substrate mix of coconut coir, orchid bark, and perlite to prevent root rot.

The 'Frilly Philly' is a fast-growing vining variety. You should expect it to trail or climb quickly, so it is best suited for spaces where it has room to spread or a trellis to support its vertical growth.

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, but ensure it receives enough ambient light to maintain its vigorous growth and distinct ruffled texture.

Not at all. The 'Frilly Philly' is known for being easy to propagate from stem cuttings. Simply place a cutting with a node in water or moist substrate, and it will typically root with minimal effort.

The minimum safe temperature for this Philodendron is 55°F (13°C). For optimal health and consistent growth, it is best to keep it within the 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C) range.
