Returns Simplified.Philodendron Imperial Green is a bold and resilient self-heading philodendron hybrid, developed for its striking upright form and glossy, vibrant foliage. Unlike climbing philodendrons, this cultivar grows in a dense rosette from a central stem, creating a strong architectural shape ideal for homes, offices, and modern interiors.
The large leaves are broad, leathery, and bright green with a glossy surface that reflects light beautifully. New leaves unfurl a lighter green before maturing into deeper emerald tones, creating a layered effect of fresh and mature foliage. Its simple yet commanding appearance makes it an excellent statement plant, providing lush greenery without requiring climbing support.
Typically, Philodendron Imperial Green grows to around 80120 cm tall indoors, forming a wide, bushy specimen. It is especially popular for its low-maintenance care, air-purifying qualities, and ability to bring a touch of the tropics to interiors year-round.
Prefers bright, indirect light but adapts well to medium light. It can tolerate lower light levels, though growth will be slower. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the large leaves.
Water when the top 35 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy, as overwatering may cause root rot. Reduce watering slightly in winter.
Temperature: Thrives in 1828C. Avoid draughts and protect from cold below 15C.
Humidity: Tolerates average household humidity but grows best in moderate to high humidity. Mist leaves occasionally in dry conditions.
Use a free-draining aroid mix peat-free compost blended with perlite and orchid bark works well. Repot every 12 years in spring to refresh the soil and give the plant room to expand.
Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser once a month during spring and summer. Stop feeding in autumn and winter when growth naturally slows.
Remove old or damaged leaves at the base to maintain a tidy appearance. Clean leaves regularly with a damp cloth to enhance their glossy sheen and support photosynthesis.
A moderate grower, usually reaching 80120 cm in height and width indoors. Its self-heading growth habit keeps it compact and bushy without the need for support.
Yellowing leaves: Often caused by overwatering.
Brown tips: Usually low humidity or inconsistent watering.
Pests: Occasionally affected by spider mites, mealybugs, or thrips.
Philodendron Imperial Green is one of several hybrids bred for bold foliage and compact form, alongside Imperial Red and Black Cardinal. Its lush, bright leaves make it perfect for adding a splash of tropical greenery indoors, and like many philodendrons, it also improves air quality.
