Its rarity and the striking variegation of its arrow-shaped leaves, which is individually pronounced on each leaf, make this variegation of the Philodendron domesticum a sought-after rarity among collectors. It is not complicated to take care of as long as you avoid waterlogging when watering. An appropriate substrate such as Ben's Philodendron & Monstera Soil helps to avoid any root rot.
• Delivery: You will receive a rooted cutting with 1-2 leaves.
• Growth type: climbing
• Origin: tropical rainforests of Central America and the Caribbean
• Other names: spade-leaf philodendron, tree lover, tree lover, climbing philodendron


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.
• Regularly remove dust from leaves with a slightly damp cloth. Cut off damaged and dead leaves promptly with disinfected and sharp scissors.
