A Philodendron with dark green leaves splashed with pink. The pink comes as patches, streaks and fine speckles, and every leaf is different: some are mostly green, some are half pink. The stems and new leaves are reddish.
Water once the top few centimetres of soil are dry, roughly once a week. Give it bright, indirect light: the plant needs light to keep making pink leaves. In a dim spot, new leaves come out greener. Leaves that are almost all pink have little chlorophyll and can turn brown at the edges. That is normal. Keep it above 16 °C and away from cold draughts.
Grows at a steady pace and climbs. Young plants stay compact. With a moss pole the stem goes up and the leaves get bigger, up to about 20 cm long. Given a pole and a few years, it can reach about 1 m.
A cultivar of Philodendron erubescens, which grows wild in the rainforests of Colombia. Toxic to cats and dogs. Ships in a 6 cm pot.
