Plant Care FAQs 🪴

• Plant Type: Chill & Rare
• Plant Vibe: Lush & Velvety
• Botanical Name: Philodendron ‘Lupinum’
• Light Requirements: Bright, indirect light; avoid harsh direct sun
• Watering: Keep soil lightly moist but not soggy; let the top 1–2" dry between waterings
• Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60–80%) for velvety leaves and vibrant growth
• Soil Type: Well-draining aroid mix (peat, perlite, orchid bark)

🏆 Pro Care Tip: High humidity is key—aim for 70%+ to maintain that velvety texture and prevent leaf crisping. Consistent moisture and bright, filtered light will encourage larger, more dramatic leaves.

✨ Styling Tip: Place your Philodendron Lupinum in a decorative planter with a moss pole for vertical drama, or let it trail luxuriously from a hanging basket for a softer, cascading look. Pair it with other velvety aroids like Anthurium Clarinervium for a textural statement display.

🍵 Tea Pairing: Enjoy with a cup of roasted oolong tea—the deep, earthy notes mirror the richness of Lupinum’s dark green leaves, while the copper tones of new growth echo the warm undertones of the brew.
