Offshoot box with 4 different indoor plants. For example, you will receive an offshoot of the following species:
Philodendron Polypodioides
With its unusual and delicately feathered leaves, this philodendron is a filigree beauty and a special rarity that is very rarely found in the trade. Due to its slow growth, which is quite small compared to other philodendrons, it is also well suited for cultivation in terrariums, where it can climb along the back or side walls. When kept on the windowsill, it should be fertilized occasionally.
• Growth type: climbing
• Origin: tropical rainforests of French Guiana
• Other names: tree friend, tree lover, climbing philodendron
Philodendron Burle Marx Variegata
A real eye-catcher is this rare and beautifully variegated philodendron. Its strong, shiny leaves shine in their variegation, which varies from deep green to light green to cream colors. If you give him climbing aids, he can reach a respectable volume over the years and is not too demanding in the care. Since this type of variegation is unstable, it can happen that the plant turns green or forms completely white leaves. In this case, the plant should be cut back accordingly (see care information).
• Growth type: climbing
• Origin: tropical rainforests of Brazil
• Other names: tree friend, tree lover, climbing philodendron
Monstera pinnatipatita
The Monstera Pinnatipartita is a rare species that is popular with plant fans and immediately catches the eye with its distinctive leaf markings and pronounced leaf veins. Similar to the Monstera Deliciosa, the leaves of the older plant form pronounced slits, giving the plant an exotic look.
• Growth type: climbing
• Origin: Tropical regions of Central America to South America
• Other names: window leaf, Swiss cheese plant
Maranta leuconeura kerchoveana variegata
In addition to its distinctive red-brown spots, this unusual Maranta also impresses with an interesting variegation, which is individually pronounced on each leaf. Their sensational appearance makes them a sought-after collector's item among plant fans. The fact that she is not demanding when it comes to care is an additional plus.
• Growth type: upright
• Origin: Amazon rainforest in Brazil
• Other names: prayer plant, prayer plant, variegated arrowroot, osiera
The box has a value of approx. 95 euros.
Depending on availability, other branches can also be selected by us.
Ben's care tips:
• We recommend keeping the cutting in moist sphagnum moss until it has rooted. Then it can be potted in the soil recommended under the point substrate.
• Location/light requirements: partially shaded to bright, avoid direct sunlight.
• Substrate: Ben's Philodendron & Monstera Soil, special soil
• Temperature: optimal at 23-27°C (day), 16-18°C (night), do not allow to cool below 12°C
• Watering: Keep the substrate moist and water when the upper substrate layer begins to dry with lukewarm water that is low in lime, but avoid waterlogging. Water less in winter.
• Humidity: needs high humidity, spray regularly (but leaves should be allowed to dry afterwards!) (but leaves should be allowed to dry afterwards!) or use humidifier
• Nutrient addition: In spring/summer approx. every 4-6 weeks with liquid fertiliser.
• Repot about every 1-2 years when the plant is properly rooted.
