Taking care of a Philodendron 'Summer Glory' is pretty straightforward. Here are some care tips to keep your plant happy:

1. Light: Philodendron 'Summer Glory' prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. A spot near a window with filtered light is ideal.

2. Watering: Water your Philodendron 'Summer Glory' when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Be careful not to overwater, as it can lead to root rot. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

3. Humidity: Philodendrons enjoy higher humidity levels. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves or placing a tray with water near the plant. Another option is to use a humidifier in the room.

4. Temperature: Philodendron 'Summer Glory' prefers temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Avoid exposing it to drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and regular potting soil works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

6. Fertilizer: Feed your Philodendron 'Summer Glory' with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Follow the instructions on the fertilizer package for the correct dosage.

7. Pruning: If your plant becomes leggy or unruly, you can trim it back to encourage bushier growth. Prune any yellow or dead leaves as needed.

Philodendron 'Summer Glory' is a stunning plant with its vibrant leaves. With a little love and attention, it will thrive and bring beauty to your space. Enjoy! 🌿😊
