The pitcher plant, better known as the philodendron, is a common sight in many gardens. They are easy to grow, and provide year-round flowers. Their dark green leaves add much needed color to any garden. Because of this many people chose it as one of their favorite plants for a variety of reasons. It is fairly easy to maintain, grows quickly, flowers in all seasons, and is a very resilient plant. Because of these factors, many people prefer them for indoor gardening.

One of the biggest pro’s of growing Philodendron is that it is not hard to take care of. It requires almost no maintenance, other than keeping the soil mowed. In some cases, the leaves can become a bit yellow if not kept under control. However, they do very well under a variety of conditions and are rarely bothered by insects. In fact, they do very well when placed near other plants that are also drought resistant.

Another pro of the Philodendron is that it is very easy to find. It is often sold at garden centers in bunches or in plant pots, and it is not very expensive. This is not true with most other plants, which require more attention when finding a buyer for them. They are often sold by the bag or by plant ball, which makes it even easier to track down a plant you are looking for. They also have a tendency to do well with different soil types, so keep an eye out for this before you buy them.

The final two that comes to mind is that the Philodendron grows quite well in Malay and Chinese terracotta pots. Most gardeners find it equally suitable in a variety of circumstances. There is not much difference between the color of the leaves and the flowers of the plant. Many people do notice that the petals tend to curl slightly when the plant is in bloom. This effect can be achieved by using a small wire cutter to prune a few buds that curl upward.

One con that has been noted is that they can become weathered quickly if a sharp edge was to be dropped on them. This may be due to their construction – they are usually constructed in a dome-shaped container that has some sort of a thick lid. Small Philodendrons seem to fare better in this type of container, but all of them can be damaged by heavy objects falling on them. So keep this in mind if you plan on tumbling a plant into a pot. It does make the situation easier to clean up afterwards.

Once you decide on where to grow your Philodendron, you need to consider whether it will have flowers or not when it blooms. They do quite well growing alone, but it is not recommended that you leave them without a source of water. They will also need regular watering to help keep the roots moist and to prevent them from drying out.

They have adapted to many conditions in the wild and can be found growing wild in most parts of the world. They prefer limestone or chalk-stone soil that is slightly acidic in nature. If you are growing it in your yard, you will need to check the pH levels on the soil to ensure that it is not too high or too low. You can purchase a soil testing kit at your local nursery that will test the pH level and then advise you accordingly. Do note that this plant will also need a considerable amount of sunlight for it to flourish.

There are many benefits to growing these pitcher plants, especially if you live in a dry climate. For one, they are able to survive for long periods in a dehydrated state. And because they do not require much water, you are not adding any additional water to the lawn as you are with many other types of lawns. You should also see the lovely flowers that come up during the spring time.
