Discover the captivating beauty of Philodendron tortum with these guidelines to ensure its unique foliage flourishes:

• Light: Philodendron tortum prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate, elongated leaves. An east or west-facing window with filtered light is generally ideal for healthy growth.
• Temperature: Maintain warm temperatures, ideally between 18-27°C (64-80°F), to mimic its tropical origins in Brazil. Protect it from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations. 
• Humidity: As a native of humid rainforests, Philodendron tortum thrives in higher humidity levels, ideally between 60-80%. 
• Watering: Water when the top inch or two of the soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure thorough watering, allowing excess water to drain from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. During the active growing season (spring and summer), you may need to water more frequently than in the dormant winter months.

Aditional notes:

• Support: Philodendron tortum is a climbing plant in nature and will benefit from a moss pole or other support structure to climb on as it matures. This encourages larger leaf growth and mimics its natural growth habit.
• This unique Philodendron, sometimes called the Corkscrew Philodendron or Skeleton Philodendron due to its distinct leaf shape, will add a touch of tropical elegance to your indoor plant collection with proper care.
