Care Tips for Zanaidu Plant
Light: As a forest understory plant,the zanaidu is accustomed to receiving several hours of indirect,dappled light every day As a result,it does best in bright,indirect light when grown indoors,although it tolerates short periods of low light as well.Be careful not to expose this tropical plant to extended periods of intense,direct sunlight as it may develop leaf burn.
Soil: Choose a soil mix that is rich,airy,and well-draining while still retaining some moisture.A combination of equal parts indoor potting soil,perlite,and orchid bark is a great option that you can easily whip up at home.Alternatively,any ready-made soil mix that is designed for aroids is a great option.
Water: Allow the soil to almost completely dry out between waterings and then water your philodendron zanaidu thoroughly.Ideally,you should be watering your plant until water drains from the pot’s drainage holes (houseplants should always be planted in pots with drainage holes).Ensure all excess water has drained from the pot before returning it to its original location.Like most houseplants,it is generally better to under-water a philodendron zanaidu than to overwater it.These tropical plants are sensitive to overwatering and often develop root rot if their roots are left sitting in water.
Temperature and Humidity: For the most part,standard household temperature and humidity levels are fine for a philodendron zanaidu.That being said,these tropical plants do enjoy humid conditions where available,so providing your zanaidu with an extra source of humidity will always be appreciated.Try placing a small humidifier nearby or moving your plant to a naturally humid room such as a bathroom,kitchen,or laundry room.
Fertilizer: In spring and summer,fertilize your philodendron zanaidu with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month.Ensure you dilute the fertilizer before applying it to prevent fertilizer burn.
Pruning: The plant does not require any pruning other than removed dead or diseased foliage or stems.
