⚠️ Pro Tips and Troubleshooting

• Pest Alert: These velvety-leafed plants are particularly susceptible to spider mites. Inspect the undersides of the leaves regularly and treat immediately with insecticidal soap or neem oil if you spot any.

• Unfurling Leaves: Be patient when a new leaf is unfurling. Do not mist it or try to manually unravel it, as the fragile new growth can be easily damaged, leading to blemishes when it hardens off.

• Toxicity: Like most Philodendrons, the Verrucosum is considered moderately toxic if ingested, so keep it away from pets and small children.
