Care Tips:

1. Light: Provide your Philodendron Ring of Fire with bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sun exposure, as it can scorch the leaves. Insufficient light can result in less vibrant colors and slower growth.

2. Watering: Allow the top inch (2.5 cm) of the soil to dry out before watering. Water thoroughly when you do water, but be sure the pot has good drainage to prevent overwatering, which can lead to root rot.

3. Humidity: Philodendron Ring of Fire appreciates moderate to high humidity levels. If the air in your home is dry, consider using a humidity tray, misting the leaves, or using a room humidifier to maintain adequate humidity.

4. Temperature: Keep the plant in a room with temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid exposing it to drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix formulated for aroids (such as Philodendrons and Monstera). You can also add perlite or orchid bark to improve drainage.

6. Fertilization: Feed your Philodendron Ring of Fire with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or eliminate fertilization during the winter months when growth slows down.

7. Pruning: Prune your plant to control its size and shape. You can trim leggy stems and remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain its appearance.

8. Propagation: Philodendron Ring of Fire can be propagated through stem cuttings. Simply cut a healthy stem with a node and place it in water or soil to root.
