Philodendron Painted Lady

This rare, climbing philodendron makes a loud splash with its variegated yellow and green blades! The leaves might remind you of the first time you attempted and failed at spin art, but we like to think that nature is the maestro of the paintbrush; or wheel in this case! Aside from its sheer exquisiteness, the Philodendron Painted Lady requires very little care on your part. A little water, a warm place to rest its feet, and dappled light are all you will need to provide this alluring temptress with the good life! Learn how to care for Philodendron Painted lady.

Light: Philodendrons prefer bright indirect sunlight but can live in lower light conditions. When your Painted Lady Philodendron gets less than 5 hours of indirect sunlight each day, its new leaves will emerge smaller, the vines will become leggy, and the gorgeous colors and variegation may fade! If your home does not have bright indirect sunlight, you can use artificial light as a supplement. 

Watering: Water the soil thoroughly after the soil is almost completely dry. When the leaves first show signs of wilting, is the best time to add water. Make sure you add the water slowly and evenly making sure that all the soil can absorb the water! Water your Painted Lady Philodendron more often in the growing season (spring and summer, into early fall) and reduce the frequency during winter.
