Its heart-shaped dark green leaves are streaked with dark veins and have a delicate silvery sheen, which makes this Philodendron particularly attractive. With proper care, it can reach a respectable size and is therefore suitable for locations and terrariums with sufficient space.

Ben's tips on plant care:
- Location/Light Requirements: partial shade to light, avoid direct sunlight.
- Substrate: Ben's Babyplant Soil, later Ben's Philodendron & Monstera Soil, special soil
- Temperature: optimal at 23-27°C (day), 16-18°C (night), do not let cool down below 12°C
- Watering: keep substrate moist and water when the top layer of substrate begins to dry, using lukewarm water with low lime content, but avoid waterlogging. Water less in winter.
- Humidity: needs high humidity, spray regularly (but leaves should be allowed to dry afterwards!) or use humidifier.
- Nutrient addition: In spring/summer about every 4-6 weeks with liquid fertilizer.
- Repot approximately every 1-2 years, when the plant is properly rooted.
- This Philodendron is somewhat sensitive to waterlogging, so appropriate drainage is especially important.
