I am new to the philodendron world, but quickly becoming a fan. As for care, it seems they’re relatively close to Pothos care. Any suggestions for a newbie? I know they don’t necessarily require a lot of light, but I have this cart where they wouldn’t get much at all, so I did the lights.

Looks good to me, I would say half my jungle is philodendrons and I have a few on my wish list lol

Yeah my wishlist seems to be growing, lol

I love philodendrons😂 your plants look happy,

Philos are my heart!! I would say they love light but can tolerate lower levels. Although I do have several of the darker ones that don’t like high light.  
The thing I really love about them is they will tell you is they don’t like something without throwing a total fit and losing all their leaves!! 💚💚🥰🥰

Ooh thank you! So now I’m wondering if I should move my black cardinal away from the light?

#### MicAZ replied on 2025-12-20

Just realized it’s not in this pic, lol. New addition!

I don’t have a black cardinal but it does seem all my dark ones prefer medium light 😉
