Everything starts from the bottom. If you are having a hard time growing your plants, do not worry. Not all plants survive especially in their early life so do not be down because of that. But rather be thankful that some still survived. It may be hard to keep it alive but trust me, once it matures it’ll be 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙩.

You don't need to buy seeds or plants to have a garden. Be informed - you can ask your neighbors or other plantitas/plantitos for cuttings or even start with seeds you get from the vegetables or fruits you consume.

Good day! I will give tips and tricks on how to take care a plant that is called a Philodendron Rugosum:

- Grow Philodendrons indoors in indirect light. Direct sunlight will burn the leaves.

- Water the Philodendrons every 1-2 weeks. To allow the dry soil to dry out between the waterings.

- Keep the dust off the leaves by washing them regularly using a soft and damp cloth.
