Essential Information About Philodendron corsinianum

  • Origin: Hybridized in the 1880s at 'La Cascine' gardens in Florence, Italy.

  • Growth Habit: Exhibits a climbing nature but maintains a bushy form when pruned, with the potential to develop large, draping leaves.
  • Toxicity: Contains calcium oxalate crystals – keep away from pets and children.

How to Care for Philodendron corsinianum

  • Light Preferences: Thrives in filtered sunlight; avoid direct sun exposure to prevent leaf burn.
  • Watering Routine: Prefers moist soil with high organic matter; allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
  • Humidity Needs: Benefits from moderate to high humidity levels; occasional misting can enhance growth.
  • Temperature Range: Ideal between 18-27°C (65-80°F); avoid exposure to temperatures below 10°C (50°F).
  • Soil and Growing Medium: Requires a well-draining, rich organic mix; incorporating peat, perlite, and orchid bark can be beneficial.
  • Repotting and Container Choice: Repot every 1-2 years to accommodate growth and refresh soil nutrients.
  • Fertilization: Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.
  • Propagation: Can be propagated through stem cuttings; ensure each cutting has at least one node and healthy aerial roots.
  • Pruning and Maintenance: Prune to maintain desired shape and encourage bushier growth; remove any yellowing or damaged leaves promptly.

Common Issues and Solutions

  • Yellowing Leaves: May indicate overwatering; ensure soil dries out slightly between waterings and improve drainage if necessary.
  • Leggy Growth: Often due to insufficient light; move to a location with brighter, indirect light.
  • Pest Prevention: Susceptible to common houseplant pests like aphids and mealybugs; regular inspection and prompt treatment with insecticidal soap are recommended.

Additional Growing Insights

To encourage robust growth and larger foliage, provide a support structure such as a moss pole for the plant to climb. Regular pruning will help maintain a bushier appearance and prevent the plant from becoming too leggy.

Monstrously Sweet
Format: Kindle
This book packs an emotional punch, especially if you’ve experienced childhood trauma (particularly abuse and/or neglect). Alexandra creates these three strong protectors who love her and will do anything to make her feel happy and safe. She started out drawing them when she was a small child, and then transitioned to stories as she grew up. Lucien, Elwin, and Kylo look frightening in their monster forms, but it’s clear that they would never hurt Alexandra, and she has never felt afraid of them. They have very distinct personalities that we get to know better throughout the book. The love and devotion they have for Alexandra is sweet and unwavering. This is a fantastic and creative story! The world-building is wonderful - it’s a shared world with M. Sinclair, and takes place at a university for supernatural beings. The additional world-building within Alexandra’s story added even more depth and intrigue. The spicy times were 🥵 and it’s more of a medium burn, but it works with the characters and I expect that it’ll pick up quite a bit in the next books. Monsters Within has a unique way of addressing mental health issues that can come from being abused and neglected. There are some flashbacks to Alexandra’s childhood that provide some insight but they don’t go into heavy details. I absolutely adored this book and can’t wait for more!

One of us
Format: Kindle
Alexandra is literally one of us. She's just lucky her fictional men became a reality hahaha. This was a good start to what I know is going to be a great series. This was fast paced and kept me entertained. Im ready for the chaos to slow down a little bit so we can get more into the character development. There's so much happening, I feel like we hardly know anything about anyone BUT that's why this is a series so let's get to the next one!

Alex and her monsters
Format: Kindle
A somewhat intriguing story that did drag a little despite giving us some world building. The explanations just took too long even if we don’t get the full picture yet. I will say the story does have some humor and is very hot. I may pick up the second book at some point.

Interesting Monster Academy
Format: Kindle
Alexandra is tired of being alone, using writing to escape from her reality. But when her monster protectors in her writing come to life, her life is going to become a little more exciting than she ever anticipated. This was a fun take on an academy romance. We have two different realities, one for the real world and one for the supernatural world. I loved the Dark Imaginarium Academy and the intrigue it held throughout the story. The plot was fun and the characters were written beautifully. Alexandra, Elwin, Kylo and Lucien were great characters and have the best out of every relationship dynamic. My heart does belong to Lucien, because who doesn't love a murderous psycho willing to kill anyone who hurts you? I wish there was a little more intrigue to the plot itself. The story was fun to read and well written, but it's still a straightforward Academy romance. I would've liked to see something that made the story really stand out more.
