Care Tips

Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain strong variegation.

• Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which may scorch the delicate white portions of the leaves.

• Low-light conditions can lead to reduced variegation.

Soil

• Requires a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix with perlite, orchid bark, and peat moss for aeration.

• A loose and chunky mix helps prevent root rot and encourages healthy root growth.

Water

• Water when the top 2" of soil is dry.

• Prefers consistently moist soil but must never sit in standing water.

• Using distilled or rainwater helps prevent mineral spots on white variegation.

Humidity

• Thrives in high humidity (60% or above).

• A humidifier, pebble tray, or regular misting can help maintain ideal conditions.

• Dry air can lead to brown edges on the variegated leaves.

Fertilizer

• Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.

• A nitrogen-rich fertilizer promotes healthy leaf development.

• Avoid excessive fertilization, as it can damage delicate white variegation.

Repotting

• Repot every 1-2 years or when roots become crowded and grow out of the drainage holes.

• Prefers a slightly snug pot to encourage strong root development.

• Providing a moss pole helps support its natural climbing habit.

Growth Habit

• An upright, slow-growing climbing philodendron.

• Can be trained to climb on a moss pole or left to trail.

• Each leaf exhibits unique variegation, making every plant one of a kind.

Toxicity

• Toxic to humans and animals when ingested due to calcium oxalate crystals.

• Keep out of reach of pets and children.
