Scientific Name
Philodendron campii ‘Lynette’ (tree-hugger of the plain, cultivar: Lynette)

This species name was first published in 2004.

Common Name(s)
Lynette’s Philodendron

Origin
Native to tropical rainforests in South America, found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and northern Brazil

Light
Prefers bright, indirect light. It can adapt to medium light but may experience slower growth and smaller leaves. Rotate the plant every few weeks to ensure even growth, as it will naturally grow toward the light source.

Water
Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil has dried out, and reduce watering in the cooler months.

Humidity
Thrives in high humidity but can adapt to average household humidity levels. A humidity tray will be appreciated by this plant, especially in a drier area.

Soil
Prefers a well-draining, peat-free mix. An aroid mix - such as one designed for Monstera or Philodendron plants with added perlite, coconut coir, or orchid bark will keep roots healthy and allow air circulation.

Food
Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser. No feeding is needed during winter.

Temp
Ideal temperature range is between 18–27°C. Avoid exposure to temperatures below 15°C.

Pet-safe?
No, this plant is toxic if ingested, so keep out of reach of pets and children.
