Thirsty Leaves Philodendron Dragon Tail Plant

This plant thrives best in bright, indirect light, which encourages the most dramatic leaf development. While it is tolerant of lower light conditions, you may notice slower growth and less pronounced lobing if it is kept in a dim corner for too long.

No, the Philodendron Dragon Tail is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best placed on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.

It arrives in a standard 4-inch nursery pot. While it is ready to display immediately, you may want to place it inside a decorative cachepot to match your interior style.

Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely before watering again. As with most vining philodendrons, it is better to underwater slightly than to let the roots sit in soggy soil, which can lead to rot.

The Dragon Tail is a vining plant. In its natural habitat, it climbs trees, so you can train it to grow upward with a moss pole or trellis. If left unsupported, it will naturally trail over the edges of a shelf or hanging planter.
