‘Painted Lady‘ is a variegated variety of Philodendron and is much loved for its striking foliage. The young, heart-shaped leaves are yellow with speckles of green and bright pink petioles. The foliage develops to a fresh mottled green colour as the plant matures. It has a climbing habit and it prefers some support, like a moss pole or trellis, to grow up on.
Care Tips
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant variegation.
- Water: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry.
- Soil: Use a rich, airy and well-draining potting mix.
