Cuttings can be quite big, you should put each of them into its own pot. It’s a trick I learned with my orchids and the Aroids have responded very well to it also.

Philodendron furcatum – an ultra-rare Philodendron with beautifully textured foliage. I have noticed that Aroids planted in LECA, often appear to start off strong; they push new roots and a few new leaves and then gradually, after the plant uses up it’s mobile micronutrients, they appear to lag out with a steady decline in size and slowed growth. Some of the rarer types like my melanochrysum, El Choco Red, and Anthurium salgarense/decipens have performed very well for me, and because of my success with those, I’ve had requests for care tips and advice. To do that, I’ll just use my regular alkaline tap water (7.9pH, 250ppm) and run about 2-3 pots of clean (unfertilized) tap water through the pot. philodendron tricolor.
