Philodendron Belle Isle
Philodendron 'Florida' x Philodendron 'Bob Cee'

A rare hybrid cross created in Detroit and named after Belle Isle Park. Juvenile leaves emerge smaller with soft green, deeply lobed blades; as the plant matures the foliage enlarges, thickens, and develops deeply lobed leaves with serrated, ruffled margins and characteristic corkscrew leaf tips. A climbing hybrid that produces progressively larger and more dramatically structured leaves as it ascends a support.

• Light: Bright indirect light for the most vigorous growth and most fully expressed mature leaf form. Tolerates moderate light but produces smaller, less characteristically lobed leaves in dimmer conditions.

• Soil: Chunky, well-draining aroid mix of orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir; excellent drainage essential. Never waterlogged.

• Temperature/Humidity: Warm temperatures between 65-82°F; humidity of 60-70% supports the best leaf quality and cleanest emergence. Avoid cold drafts below 60°F.

• Watering: Allow the top 1-2" of medium to dry between waterings; water thoroughly and drain completely. Never waterlog.

• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4 weeks during active growth; supplement with calcium and magnesium for best leaf quality. Reduce in winter.
