Philodendron plants are very quick growing plants. You can always use a grow light to supplement the light in dark areas of your house. Once your plant starts to slow its aerial root growth and the leaves are growing closer together, it's getting the proper amount of light. So when you see this happening, it's time to find a brighter spot for your philodendron. It does this to reach for the light like a succulent would when it's not getting enough of it. When your philodendron gets too little light, its aerial roots or vines will stretch and there will be a lot of space between individual leaves. Old leaves on a Philodendron turn yellow, so this is a natural process. ![]() If it's just 1 or 2 leaves, you have nothing to worry about. When your philodendron is getting many yellow leaves at once, it might be getting too much sunlight.

As the Philodendron has vines and likes to climb, it grows on tree trunks, in shaded areas.

Your philodendron is quite a versatile plant because it can thrive in varying light levels. ![]() You can click on the links to take you to the right section.
