Philodendron
Light: Philodendrons typically grow best in partial sunlight, naturally receiving dappled light under a tropical canopy. Too much light can cause many of the leaves to turn yellow. Only a few leaves yellowing is typically just normal aging.
Water: Your Philodendron will like a moderate amount of soil moisture. Water whenever the top inch of soil has dried out.
