• Step 1- Do not do anything to the culture for 1-2 days to allow them to adjust to the temperature in their new environment
• Step 2- Open the package & wash the agar jelly off the plant as thoroughly as possible. We strongly recommend using running water. A small paint brush can be gently used to assist with the cleaning process. This is one of the most important steps of the process.
• Step 3- Plant your cultures in the medium of your choice. We recommend a chunky blend of coco husk & perlite. We utilize acclimation plugs although there are many great mediums available.
• Step 4- Place them into a clear sealed package (container or plastic bag). Within 24-hours your container will have water droplets forming, which will confirm the container is at 100% humidity.
• Step 5-Place under a grow lights for between 8 & 14 hours a day
• Step 6- Leave plants covered for the first 7 days.  The following 7 to 10 days slowly expose plants to ambient air. Each day exposing the plants to slightly more air until fully acclimated. 

Our acclimation kits will contain all of the tools necessary for success. Just add water & grow lights to the simple acclimation process to produce healthy acclimated plants!

How to Care for Philodendron Atabapoense

Caring for your Philodendron Atabapoense is easy with these simple steps:

• Light: Place the plant in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so make sure it’s shaded from harsh light.

• Temperature: This plant loves warmth, so keep it in a space between 65–85°F. Avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.

• Humidity: Philodendron Atabapoense thrives in high humidity. Mist the leaves regularly, use a humidifier, or group it with other plants to maintain moisture in the air.

• Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Keep the soil slightly moist but avoid overwatering. Make sure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from sitting at the bottom.

• Soil: Use a light, well-draining soil mix with ingredients like coco husk, perlite, and peat to provide good airflow to the roots. We have both in our inventory!

• Fertilizer: Feed your plant once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with Orange Lake Nursery Fertilizer. This will help it grow healthy and strong.
