The Philodendron giganteum leaves, which can grow up to three feet in length and the same width, grow densely adorned on the central stalk. Although the main stem is strong enough to withstand the weight of the foliage, large adult specimens still sometimes need a pillar, more as support than a climbing requisite.
It is a long-lived, fast-growing plant, and therefore you have to provide it with enough space and a stable pot from the very beginning. Apart from a lot of space, this houseplant with big green leaves does not require much care. It is pretty adaptable and tolerates indoor conditions well.
Philodendron giganteum is much more sensitive to excess than to lack of water. The fact is that the plant likes moist soil but does not like to sit in water, which almost inevitably predicts root rot. Therefore, the establishment of a proper watering regime is vital for growing this plant.
Generally, it is enough to water it once a week from spring to autumn, allowing the soil to dry slightly between two watering cycles. In summer, when temperatures are high, water evaporates faster, so you could water more often, depending on how fast the soil dries. In the winter months, reduce watering to two or three times a month, depending on the room temperature.
