- Toxicity: Contains calcium oxalate crystals – keep away from pets and children.
How to Care for Philodendron corsinianum
- Light Preferences: Thrives in filtered sunlight; avoid direct sun exposure to prevent leaf burn.
- Watering Routine: Prefers moist soil with high organic matter; allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
- Humidity Needs: Benefits from moderate to high humidity levels; occasional misting can enhance growth.
- Temperature Range: Ideal between 18-27°C (65-80°F); avoid exposure to temperatures below 10°C (50°F).
- Soil and Growing Medium: Requires a well-draining, rich organic mix; incorporating peat, perlite, and orchid bark can be beneficial.
- Repotting and Container Choice: Repot every 1-2 years to accommodate growth and refresh soil nutrients.
- Fertilization: Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.
- Propagation: Can be propagated through stem cuttings; ensure each cutting has at least one node and healthy aerial roots.
- Pruning and Maintenance: Prune to maintain desired shape and encourage bushier growth; remove any yellowing or damaged leaves promptly.
Common Issues and Solutions
- Yellowing Leaves: May indicate overwatering; ensure soil dries out slightly between waterings and improve drainage if necessary.
- Leggy Growth: Often due to insufficient light; move to a location with brighter, indirect light.
- Pest Prevention: Susceptible to common houseplant pests like aphids and mealybugs; regular inspection and prompt treatment with insecticidal soap are recommended.
Additional Growing Insights
To encourage robust growth and larger foliage, provide a support structure such as a moss pole for the plant to climb. Regular pruning will help maintain a bushier appearance and prevent the plant from becoming too leggy.

My dogs favorite balls
Size: Medium
These are great for my dog who always has to have a ball in her mouth. Not too hard so I don't have to worry about her teeth. They last for ever. They do lose their shape a little over time (like I said, she always has a ball in her mouth) they become a little oval in shape. They still bounce, she still chases it and she still chews on it so I don't think she notices or cares. I've gotten her a bag full of these over time and I have only seen one that she chewed a chunk out.

My Dachshunds Love These
Size: Small
These balls are durable, flexible material, highly chewable without being easily destroyed. I stuff them with Milkbone Maro Snacks, which are just the right size to twist into the holes in the ball. My dogs literally get an hour+ chewing and chasing entertainment from these. They chew them, they sometimes 'pop' out of their mouths, go rolling across the floor, dogs chasing them. This satisfies their urge to hunt prey. Dachshunds can easily tear this kind of stuff-it-toy apart. These have lasted for a long time without tearing or shredding. I would NOT recommend them for a dog much larger than a tweenie weenie. They're a bit on the small side and might be swallowed by a larger dog. It would be cool it they also came in a larger size (and probably ball wall thickness also) for the bigger dogs to enjoy. These stuff-it chew balls are better than the kong balls my dogs had before these. Highly recommend them.

My puppy’s favorite fetch toy!
Size: Small
Update Aug 27, 2024: After 10 months, these are still his favorite ball. He’s obsessed with fetching and plays with them all day. They do bounce really high. Unfortunately, the small size aren’t available for sale anywhere anymore. I tried the medium size, and he has a bit of trouble hanging on to them, but he manages. Weirdly, he prefers the orange one, but he also plays with the blue one.
My 7 month old Shih Tzu puppy loves to fetch, and these are his new favorites. They’re small enough to fit in his mouth, and they are made of hard plastic, so he’s able to hold on to them. They have a lot of bounce, and this adds to the fun for him. I highly recommend them.

Genuinely bummed that these great balls can’t stand up against my Chloè.
Size: Medium
I love all the Chuckit brand of balls. I found that the Strabo and glow balls in the Chuckit line are the softest, and as such, don't last as long as the rest of Chuckit line of balls. Having said that, they do last longer than than every other brand I've tried (and I do believe I’ve tried every brand available on the market today.)
The strato balls do bounce higher than any of the other balls in the Chuckit line. They really are a good value.

Great dog balls at a great price
Size: Medium
The balls are a favorite for my dog. I could have done without the hole through the middle because I don't do treats in balls anyway. My dog loves balls for their own merit. I needed replacement balls for my Nerf Dog Ball launcher. It seems the originals have disappeared from the market. I took a chance because the price is right and this Chuck-it ball works very well so we're liking this ball a lot. So far my Dachsund, who can destroy a tennis ball (the kind they are selling as Nerf Dog replacements) in 3 minutes has not done any damage to this one so that's a win. I recommend this as a much better ball than the fuzzy tennis balls. I like the colors too since many dog toys are green (which gets lost in the lawn, etc.) or red (even though dogs have red/green color blindness. Blue and orange are good and pretty easy to find. I liked these well enough that this set was my second purchase so I will have spares in case the others are lost.
