Abstract: To provide the best fertilization scheme for industrial production of Philodendron, two varieties of Philodendron were employed in a pot experiment. The authors studied the impact of 7 fertilization treatments on growth and nutrition uptake of Philodendron. The results showed that, fertilization can increase the nutrition uptake and promote the growth of Philodendron. Under fertilization treatment, plant height, leave length, leave width, stem diameter, stem length, and biomass increased. Among all the fertilization treatments, when controlled release fertilizer was used as base fertilizer and faster-release fertilizer as addition fertilizer, the growth of Philodendron was the best; however, when faster-release fertilizer was served as base fertilizer and faster-release fertilizer or foliar fertilizer as addition fertilizer, the growth of Philodendron was unsatisfied.
