Care Instructions:
1. Light: Philodendron sharoniae thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Avoid exposing it to prolonged direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. Place it near a window with filtered light or provide artificial grow lights if needed.

2. Temperature: This plant prefers temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures, but avoid exposing it to temperatures below 55°F (13°C) for extended periods.

3. Watering: Water your Philodendron sharoniae when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Ensure that the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging, as this plant is susceptible to root rot. Strike a balance between keeping the soil moist and avoiding overwatering. Adjust the watering frequency according to the season and the moisture needs of the plant.

4. Humidity: Philodendron sharoniae appreciates higher humidity levels. You can increase humidity around the plant by misting its leaves regularly or placing a humidifier nearby. Grouping plants together or using a pebble tray filled with water can also help maintain humidity.

5. Soil: Plant your Philodendron sharoniae in a well-draining potting mix. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark works well. Ensure that the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.

6. Fertilizer: Feed your plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging for the correct dosage. Avoid fertilizing during the dormant winter months.

7. Support and Pruning: Philodendron sharoniae is a climbing plant that can benefit from a support structure, such as a trellis or moss pole. You can train its vines to grow along the support. Prune any leggy or damaged stems to maintain a compact and attractive shape.

8. Propagation: Philodendron sharoniae can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take a healthy stem cutting with a few nodes, remove the lower leaves, and place it in a container with a moistened mix of peat moss and perlite. Keep the soil lightly moist and provide high humidity to encourage root growth.

By following these care instructions, you can enjoy the beauty of Philodendron sharoniae and watch it thrive and brighten up your indoor space.
