- Provide bright, indirect light. Philodendron spiritus sancti prefers ample light to maintain its unique leaf shape and growth. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so filter the light through sheer curtains or position the plant where it receives indirect light.
- Place near a north or east-facing window, or use grow lights if natural light is insufficient. Ensure that the light intensity is adequate to support healthy leaf development.
