#APRAZKA Light Philodendron Dean McDowell prefers bright, indirect light, but can tolerate lower light conditions. Morning sunlight is best because it's less intense than afternoon sunlight. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves. Water Allow the soil to almost completely dry out between waterings. Drooping leaves are a sign of underwatering. Soil Use well-draining soil that's rich in organic matter. Peat moss or compost can help maintain moisture. A lighter mix can help with aeration. The soil should be slightly acidic. Humidity Philodendron Dean McDowell prefers higher humidity levels, but can tolerate normal household humidity. Misting the plant occasionally can help.
