Here’s a detailed care guide for Philodendron Black Majesty:
🌿 General Overview
Botanical Name: Philodendron ‘Black Majesty’

Type: Tropical evergreen aroid
Growth Habit: Upright to slightly climbing (self-heading hybrid)
Foliage: Deep maroon to blackish-green, lance-shaped leaves
☀️ Light
-
Thrives in bright, indirect light.
-
Avoid direct sunlight — it can scorch the dark leaves.
-
Too little light will cause slower growth and loss of deep coloration.
✅ Ideal spot: Near an east-facing window or bright filtered light indoors.
💧 Watering
-
Water when the top 4–5 cm of soil is dry.
-
Keep soil slightly moist but never soggy.

Overwatering can quickly lead to root rot.
💡 Tip: Use room-temperature, filtered, or rainwater if possible.
🌡️ Temperature
-
Prefers 18–30°C.
-
Keep away from AC vents or cold drafts.
-
Avoid exposing below 15°C, as it can stress the plant.
🌫️ Humidity
-
Enjoys 60–80% humidity for best color and growth.
-
Use a humidifier or mist the plant regularly.
-
In dry indoor air, place it near other plants or on a pebble tray with water.
🌱 Soil
-
Needs an airy, well-draining aroid mix.
-
Best mix: coco peat + perlite + orchid bark + charcoal (1:1:1:1).
-
Roots prefer good airflow — avoid dense soil.
🌸 Fertilizer
-
Feed every 3–4 weeks during active growth (spring to early autumn).
-
Use a balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) at half strength.
-
Avoid fertilizing in winter when growth slows.
🪴 Repotting
-
Repot every 2 years or when roots outgrow the pot.
-
Choose a pot 2 inches larger with proper drainage holes.
-
Refresh the potting mix each time to maintain aeration.
✂️ Pruning & Maintenance
-
Trim away yellow or damaged leaves to promote healthy growth.
-
Wipe leaves gently to maintain their glossy appearance.
-
Rotate the plant monthly for even light exposure.
