A Philodendron with dark green, almost burgundy leaves marbled with pink. On 'Marble' the pink comes as fine speckles and streaks across most leaves, with larger pink patches on some. The stems and new leaves are deep red.
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 darker and 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.
