  • FEATURES

    Meet ‘Fozzie’, the fuzzy-petioled philodendron with leaves as velvety-soft as its namesake Muppet, Fozzie Bear! With a name as cuddly as its disposition, this philodendron grows large, heart-shaped leaves of medium green, but what makes ‘Fozzie’ especially pettable are its bumpy petioles that look fuzzy. New leaves open up a bronze color before transitioning to green; petioles blush red. Similar in growth habit to Philodendron gloriosum, ‘Fozzie’ grows in a horizontal spreading habit but can also be trained up a moss pole.

    Maintenance Notes: 
    • For optimal performance, keep your Philodendron at 60-85°F (15-29°C). 
    • Philodendrons perform best in bright, indirect light or filtered sunlight. Too much direct sunlight, especially in the middle of the day, can scorch the leaves. A little morning or evening sun, however, may help your Philodendron to flourish, especially in the short, dim days of winter. Philodendrons will tolerate lower light conditions, but they will not show their coloration/variegation as intensely in low light, or grow as quickly.  
    • Philodendrons appreciate higher humidity, but are generally adaptable to ambient household humidity. In general, if your philodendron has thicker, waxier leaves, it will be able to tolerate less humidity; if your philodendron has thin, fine leaves, it will perform better if given a higher humidity situation. You can help maintain humidity above 50% by using a humidifier or keeping your Philodendron on a pebble tray. 
    • Philodendrons prefer to be watered when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage and do not allow your Philodendron to sit in water for extended periods of time, after it has received a good soaking. 
    • Feed your Philodendron once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months. If no new leaves are growing, it does not need to be fertilized.
    • Protect furniture when watering & fertilizing.
    • When repotting your Philodendron, use an all-purpose potting mix, with additional orchid bark and perlite added, to ensure your Philodendron has good drainage and plenty of nutrients
