History of the Philodendron Dragon Tail
The Philodendron Dragon Tail belongs to the tropical arum family and impresses with its elongated, glossy leaves, which become deeply lobed with age and develop a dragon-like shape. Its climbing habit and distinctive leaf shape make it an attractive plant for collectors.
Care as a houseplant:
Light: Bright to partial shade, indirect light. Avoid direct midday sun.
Temperature: Ideally 20–28 °C, not below 15 °C.
Humidity: Medium to high humidity, ideally 60–80 %.
Substrate: Loose, airy aroid substrate with bark, perlite and coconut fibre.
Watering: Water as soon as the top layer of substrate has dried out slightly. Avoid waterlogging.
Fertilising: During the growing season, fertilise lightly every 2–4 weeks.
Special features: A moss pole or trellis supports the climbing habit and encourages larger, more deeply lobed leaves.
Important for pet owners: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.
Care as a terrarium plant:
Light: Bright to very bright, indirect light or suitable grow light.
Temperature: Ideally 22–28 °C.
Humidity: Around 70–85 %.
Substrate: Airy aroid substrate with bark, coconut fibre and mineral components.
Watering: Keep evenly slightly moist and allow to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogging.
Air circulation: Ensure regular air exchange so that the leaves and roots do not stay permanently damp.
Special features: A moss pole provides support and encourages the development of large, decoratively lobed leaves. Ideal for tall, spacious terrariums.
Overwintering tips:
In winter, keep the plant as bright and warm as possible. Water less and pause fertilising while growth slows. Avoid cold draughts.
