Aspect	Description	Additional Tips
Light Requirements	The Philodendron Oxycardium Golden plant prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions.	Always avoid direct sunlight as it can easily scorch the delicate leaves of your plant.

This device will tell you exactly when your plant is thirsty by giving you the right indication - blue for when it’s perfectly watered and white for when it needs watering.
Humidity	As a tropical plant, this Philodendron thrives in high humidity but adapts well to average indoor humidity levels.	You can mist the leaves occasionally to boost humidity.
Fertilization	Feed your Oxycardium Golden Plant monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter as those are its dormant seasons.	If you’re unsure about when and how to fertilize your plants, you can use Ugaoo’s Plant Food Fertilizer Sticks for easy, fast, and balanced fertilization. Simply insert a stick into the soil and it will provide balanced, slow-release nutrients to your plant every time you water it.
Pruning	Regularly trim back leggy growth to encourage a fuller appearance and remove any yellow or dead leaves to keep the plant healthy.
