●Know the Plant Better: Key Features and Benefits of the Philodendron Pluto Gold

Known for its easy care and stunning looks, the Golden Pluto Philodendron is the perfect addition to living rooms, bedrooms, and all kinds of indoor spaces. With little care and a lot of love, this wonderful Philodendron can stay with you for a long time. Here are a few of its key features and benefits that you must know:

1. Unique Foliage

The Philodendron Golden Pluto is extensively known for its unique, memorable foliage. So much so that once you look at it, it just stays with you! This plant boasts golden-yellow leaves that are long, large, and deeply lobed. They adorn thick, sturdy branches that spread outwards and dense, thick foliage.

2. Growth Pattern

This plant and the Philodendron Pluto Green both display a large, dense, and thick growth habit. They are neither fast growers nor are they too slow. Their moderate growth pace makes them perfect for indoor environments. However, when they are grown in their natural habitats, these plants grow pretty well around bigger trees as epiphytes. Epiphytes are basically plants that grow with the support of other, bigger plants or trees. But the important thing to note is that they are not parasites, they absorb nutrients from the air and water, as well as from the nutrients fallen on the trees they inhabit.

3. Air Purifying

Like other Philodendron plants, the Philodendron Pluto Golden is also a great air purifier. Additionally, since it is a big plant, it has more surface area to absorb more toxins, thus making it more efficient than smaller plants by comparison. The Pluto plant absorbs and filters out commonly found indoor pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde, and other particulate matter. In turn, it releases extra oxygen into the air, leaving you with a much cleaner and greener indoor space in your home.

4. Versatile Decoration

The Philodendron Golden Pluto can be used in various indoor settings, including homes, offices, and public spaces. Its striking appearance makes it a great choice for enhancing interior decor in all kinds of spaces.

5. Low Maintenance

With the Philodendron Pluto Gold, a little care goes a long way. This tropical indoor plant is perfect for new or busy gardeners as it does not demand too much time or attention from you. Plus, it can also forgive short periods of neglect, making it ideal for you even if you travel too much. But remember that even though this plant is low maintenance, you must never ignore or neglect it. With the right kind of care, this plant will reward you with wonderful looks for years on end!

●Philodendron Pluto Care: Some Basics You Must Know

While low maintenance, this houseplant still needs a little bit of your time, attention, and care. So, here are a few basics to keep in mind to ensure that your plant is getting the love it needs:

1. Light Requirements

The Golden Pluto Philodendron does fairly well in low light conditions. However, the time when it really thrives is when it is placed in bright, indirect light. So, find a window that is well-lit and receives at least 6 hours of filtered light daily, and place your plant there for optimal growth.

2. Watering the Plant

The Philodendron Pluto Golden needs to be watered only once a week. When watering this plant, remember that it is crucial to strike the right balance - you must neither overwater it nor underwater it. So, you can use Ugaoo’s Sustee Watermeter to tell you when the right time to water your plant is. When the indicator is blue, it means your plant is perfectly watered. If the indicator turns white, then you must water your plant immediately as the area near its roots has dried up.

3. Soil Preferences

The Pluto Philodendron prefers a potting mix that is well-drained and aerated, allowing its roots to grow bigger over time while still having enough breathing space. For this, you can use Ugaoo’s Pot-O-Mix which is a perfect blend of 11 essential ingredients such as Perlite, Cocopeat, dehydrated Neem tree, and more. Or you can also make your own potting mix by mixing in those basic ingredients with proper garden soil.

4. Humidity Preferences

As a tropical plant, the Philodendron Golden Pluto thrives with higher humidity. So, mist your plant regularly with a proper Pressure Sprayer or a mister. However, if you do not have the time to do this, you can choose to do one of the two things: use a humidifier or make and place a humidity tray near your plant. To make this, simply take a tray and line it with smooth pebbles. Pour water in and fill it to the top. This water will evaporate faster and once it does, it will reach your plant’s foliage, providing it with adequate moisture over time.

5. Fertilization

When you buy your plants from Ugaoo, you need not worry about their fertilization for the first 6 months. Once this period is over, you must remember to fertilize your plant once every 4-6 weeks with a balanced and organic fertilizer. Additionally, you can also amend the soil with Cow Manure or Goat Manure when needed. If you’re unsure about how to keep up with the complicated routine of using a liquid fertilizer, you can use Ugaoo’s Plant Food Fertilizer Sticks. Take 1-2 sticks for this XL indoor plant and insert them into the soil of the potted plant, away from the stem but close to the roots. Once you do this, your plant will get proper, balanced food every time you water it as the sticks will release nutrients needed for growth. These sticks will easily last you a minimum of 60 days!
So, now that you know the basics of how to care for the Philodendron Pluto Golden, you can get creative and adorn your home with it!
