Process :
1. Mix your soil. Philodendrons can grow without soil in many conditions, and need an extremely aerated growth source.
2. Secure the cuttings. Place a wooden stake about 1 inch (2.56 cm) down in the pot and prop the cutting onto the stake.
3. Locate your pot in a warm and shaded spot.
4. Young philodendron cuttings will need to be watered daily, but the plant does not do well when excessively watered since it's susceptible to root rot.
- Considered lucky for the house.
- Can grow without much assistance and care.
Do's

- Repotting should be done in late winter or spring, before the plant begins active new growth.
- Spray the foliage daily with a water spray bottle.
- Create a mixture of 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 potting soil and 1/3 sand.
Don'ts
