5. Soil: Plant in a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter.

6. Fertilizing: Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

7. Pruning: Trim yellow or damaged leaves to promote new growth and maintain the plant's appearance.

8. Support: Provide a moss pole or trellis for the plant to climb on as it grows.

Remember that individual care requirements may vary based on your specific growing conditions, so it's essential to monitor your plant closely and adjust care as needed. Enjoy caring for your beautiful Philodendron billietiae!
