High in Organic Content
The Philodendron plant needs soil that is very nutritious and high in organic content. For this purpose, you can add peat moss to it. Peat moss will also retain moisture without contributing to waterlogging.

Loose and Permeable
The soil should be permeable enough to drain the water out of it quickly. You can use bark, charcoal, or coco coir to the soil to loosen the particles of the soil.

Acidic
Acidic soil is the most suitable for Philodendron paraiso verde. It also helps to prevent infections and allows the plant to absorb the nutrients from it efficiently.

Fertilizer: Philodendrons are not heavy feeders, but will benefit from a balanced houseplant fertilizer every 3 weeks or so, during the spring and summer.
