The Sill Trailing Philodendron

No, Philodendrons are toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. If you have curious pets that like to nibble on leaves, it is best to place these plants on a high shelf or in a hanging planter out of reach.

This means your plants should be placed near a window where they can see the sky, but direct sun rays don't hit the leaves. A spot a few feet away from a south or west-facing window, or right in front of a north-facing window, is usually perfect.

Not at all. These plants arrive in nursery grow pots that are designed to support their health for the first few months. We recommend waiting at least a few weeks to let them acclimate to your home's environment before considering a repot.

These plants prefer to dry out slightly between waterings. A good rule of thumb is to check the top two inches of soil; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water. Be sure to avoid letting them sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.

While Philodendrons are adaptable, they still require natural light to thrive. If your bathroom has a window, they will likely do well, but they will not survive in a windowless room even with artificial light.
