Thaumatophyllum care guide:

Thaumatophyllum are such cool plants, i like every single variety! These plants used to be in the Philodendron genus, but scientists and botanists later found out that it was its own genus; Thaumatophyllum!

------------------------------------

WATERING:

In my experience, Thaumatophyllum don´t mind having dry soil for a couple days, but the plant grew best when the soil was moist. I watered it once a week and the plant did really well! During the summer months when the soil dried out waaaay too fast so i had to water 2-3 times a week.

------------------------------------

LIGHT REQUIREMENTS:

Like most plants, the more light, the more growth. I have not had a burned leaf on my Thaumatophyllum despite it being right infont of the window and getting full sun, so i´d say put the plant either under a grow light, or in front of any window.

------------------------------------

PROPAGATION:

Thaumatophyllum grow quite compact, so you can take a (preferably big) stem cutting, plop it in water, wait for it to root and pot it up.

Thaumatophyllum also grow pups (baby plant next to the main stem) when it is happy, you can pluck these pups off and pot up in a different pot, or let it be,

------------------------------------

FLOWERS:

Thaumatophyllum get inflorescences, which can be pollinated to grow berries that contain seed, so thats another way to propagate your Thaumatophyllum.

------------------------------------

MEDIUMS:

Pick out a soil mix that can hold some moisture. Mine did really well in a mix of soil, perlite and leca, but of course you can also grow the plant in water.

The Thaumatophyllum that i keep talking about is one we had at my old school, it was really beautiful!
