Atom Plant

Fancy giving your room a tropical flair? Then the Philodendron atom care will not disappoint. Dark green leaves that have a shiny and waxy look will make you think of a tropical rainforest. Pair this with other tropical plants in your living room and you will feel like you are on vacation. On top of that the Philodendron atom is a pretty easy plant to care for.

Philodendron atoms are little shrub like plants. Their growth will usually end up at around 20 to 30 centimeters and not much more. As the plant ages it will begin to turn waxier in feel which will contribute to its tropical vibe.

Promote growth in your Philodendron atom by ensuring the light, soil, nutrient and water conditions are optimal. Keep the soil moist but well-drained for your Philodendron atom. Fertilize in the summer months and ease off on the water in the winter. Avoid direct sunlight as this can burn the leaves. Rather, you should keep your plant in indirect light. Watch out for insect attacks by checking regularly.

The Philodendron atom is a low light plant. It will be happiest in a room with bright but indirect sunlight. Water around once a week in the growing season, but hold off if the soil is still very wet. In fact, it does the plant well if it has started to dry off on the top inch of soil in between watering. Watch out for yellow leaves as this is a sign that your Philodendron atom is receiving too much water.
