Beautiful plant. It is growing very well. I bought it at a big box store-H. D. I love this plant. The color the leaves changing is just gorgeous and it is true to the description picture. New growth is green and within a short time the color starts changing. Your plant will have a multitude of different colors all the time. Very easy to care for. It is as though fall and the changing of the leaves have been harnessed into this plant for year round enjoyment. If fall leaves are in your favorite category, I recommend buying it. .

This blushing philodendron, known as Prismacolor ‘Fall Leaves’ embodies the vibrance of fall, all year-round. Bright red stems grow in an upright, clumping habit, and push out new spade-shaped leaves that gradually change from red to amber to green over time–just like an autumnal masterpiece! Like other philodendrons, an occasional spray of leaf shine will keep your ‘Fall Leaves’ looking its best.

Maintenance Notes:- For optimal performance, keep your Philodendron at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
- Philodendrons perform best in bright, indirect light or filtered sunlight. Too much direct sunlight, especially in the middle of the day, can scorch the leaves. A little morning or evening sun, however, may help your Philodendron to flourish, especially in the short, dim days of winter. Philodendrons will tolerate lower light conditions, but they will not show their coloration/variegation as intensely in low light, or grow as quickly.
- Philodendrons appreciate higher humidity, but are generally adaptable to ambient household humidity. In general, if your philodendron has thicker, waxier leaves, it will be able to tolerate less humidity; if your philodendron has thin, fine leaves, it will perform better if given a higher humidity situation. You can help maintain humidity above 50% by using a humidifier or keeping your Philodendron on a pebble tray.
- Philodendrons prefer to be watered when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage and do not allow your Philodendron to sit in water for extended periods of time, after it has received a good soaking.
- Feed your Philodendron once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months. If no new leaves are growing, it does not need to be fertilized.
- Protect furniture when watering & fertilizing.
- When repotting your Philodendron, use an all-purpose potting mix, with additional orchid bark and perlite added, to ensure your Philodendron has good drainage and plenty of nutrients.
