How to Care for Philodendron 'Cream Splash'
Light
- Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates moderate to low light.
- Too much direct sun may scorch leaves; low light can reduce variegation.

- Reduce watering in cooler months.
Humidity
- Prefers humidity above 50% but adapts to average indoor levels.
- A humidifier can help in drier environments.
Temperature
- Best range: 18-26°C.
- Avoid temperatures below 15°C and sudden drafts.
Soil
- Needs well-draining, nutrient-rich soil.
- A mix of perlite, and orchid bark supports root health.
Repotting
- Repot every 1-2 years or when roots outgrow the container.
- Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent water buildup.
Fertilization
- Feed monthly with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer.
- Avoid over-fertilizing to prevent salt buildup.
Propagation
- Propagate via stem cuttings in water or soil.
- Ensure cuttings have at least two nodes for better success.
Pruning
- Regular trimming encourages bushier growth.
- Remove damaged, yellowing, or leggy stems as needed.
Semi-Hydroponics
- Adapts well to semi-hydroponic growing with inert substrates.
- Use a balanced nutrient solution for hydroponic setups.
Common Issues and Solutions
Pests
- Spider mites: Fine webbing on leaves – treat with neem oil, or use beneficial insects or insecticidal soap.

- Fungus gnats: Indicate overwatering – allow soil to dry and use sticky traps.
Root Rot
- Caused by excess moisture and poor drainage.

Leaf Discoloration
- Yellowing: Overwatering or nutrient deficiency.
- Browning tips: Low humidity or over-fertilization.
- Fading variegation: Needs more indirect light.
Fungal Issues

Love it!
I absolutely love this moisturizer! I originally got a sample of it through Birchbox and fell in love. It is the first facial moisturizer I've used that doesn't cause face demons and it actually got rid of my dry flaky bits around mouth and nose area after just a few uses. It smells delightful and fresh, it's very lightweight, and it's not at all greasy or oily feeling. I wanted to purchase it immediately after sampling but Birchbox was selling this same size bottle for $35 and I couldn't justify that so when Amazon had it listed for $15 at the time, I snatched it up! I will definitely be repurchasing this product again and again and again!

great product, horrid shipping packaging
Very moisturizing yet very light. I love the smell of cucumber, too. And the best feature is that it's organic, so you can safely use it on a daily basis. While I love the product, I do not like the way they ship it. When I received my COOLA, the box was smashed. But I did not imagine that it damaged the tube as well. You can kind of see them on the photo, but it created sharp-edged creases, from where it often starts leaking. I did not want to take a chance, so I contacted the seller, and they sent me a replacement. But the replacement box was also smashed, although the tube itself was not damaged this time. If you want to buy products as gifts, you can never buy them from this seller. COOLA itself is fantastic, so I wanted to give a 5 star, but the way they carelessly ship is unacceptable, which would have resulted in 2 stars, but they promptly replaced it, so I'd give 3.5, but for lack of 0.5 increment, I gave it 4 stars.

LOVES LOVES LOVES
This is the absolute best sunscreen on the market for your face. Or at least that I've ever tried. Being in my 20's I'm getting pretty obsessed with preventative care, and face sunscreen every day is a big priority. I actually received a sample size in my Birch Box Monthly Subscription and I fell in love with it.
So happy I found a cheaper once on Amazon because it usually is about $35! The smell is NOTHING like a sunscreen, it smells like fresh cucumber, and the texture is not thick. I put it on under my makeup and it does not feel the slightest bit heavy.
Needless to say, unless one day I have an allergic reaction to it, I will be using this sunscreen until I die.

Not Natural
I loved the application of this product, very smooth, no smell, no white patches and, supposedly, all natural. Then I looked at the inactive ingredients! EWG rates this product #3 for problematic ingredients. The most problematic is the OCTINOXATE, which they rate #6! I'm torn. I have not found another sunscreen with as good an application as this one but I don't want to put harmful things on my skin. I have decided to return it. Sigh!
UPDATE: I just discovered that EWG rates highly the Coola PLANT BASED sunscreen (not this one). The reviews for that product, however, suggest it leaves a white paste, like most other sunscreens. I'm going Dr. Mercola's face stick. It got good reviews here.

Excellent sunscreen for daily sun protection...
This is a great sunscreen for the "light" days in the sun. I layer my skincare (serums, creams, then sunscreen) before I apply my makeup. Sunscreen is always the last step before I apply my makeup. Other brands have been known to "bead up" under my makeup through out the day, or have a white cast to them. This does not do that. It doesn't leave a white cast, or residue of any kind on my skin. It is lightweight to the point of being weightless right after application. It is incredibly moisturizing on my dry skin as well, which I LOVE! Love the ingredients too for everyday use!
The only downside to this sunscreen is it isn't strong enough to protect my skin on days I am in the sun a lot and cannot reapply every hour, or so. I noticed a couple of stubborn brown spots pop up after a couple hours in direct sunlight. I didn't burn, but I did get a tan on my face I was hoping to avoid. All in all, This is my favorite sunscreen I use when I am running to-and-fro, but not the sunscreen I will use at the ball field, or a day at the beach.
