Thrives Guaranteed or We Fix It

• Originally from Colombia, this rare Philodendron cultivar is a hybrid prized for its stunning pink and dark green variegated foliage. Each plant produces unique leaf patterns that never repeat exactly.
• The pink variegation is actually a lack of chlorophyll, making each pink section unable to photosynthesize, which is why proper light is crucial for plant health. This creates the plant's distinctive appearance.
• Collectors worldwide seek this plant for its Instagram-worthy looks and rarity, with some specimens selling for hundreds of dollars depending on variegation quality. It's considered a status plant among houseplant enthusiasts.
• As a climbing philodendron, it can reach 1-2 metres indoors when provided with proper support, developing larger and more dramatically variegated leaves as it matures.

• Water weekly in summer and fortnightly in winter when top 2-3cm of soil is dry, using filtered water to prevent leaf browning. Always check soil moisture rather than following a strict schedule.
• Place in bright, indirect light away from direct sun to maintain pink variegation without leaf burn. Rotate weekly for even growth and colouring.
• Use well-draining potting mix with added perlite and orchid bark for excellent drainage and aeration. Standard potting mix alone retains too much moisture.
• Feed monthly with diluted liquid fertiliser during spring and summer growing season, reducing to every 6-8 weeks in autumn and winter.
• Prune any fully green leaves to redirect energy to variegated growth, and provide moss pole support for climbing habit.
• Maintain 60-70% humidity with regular misting, humidifier, or pebble trays, especially during dry Australian winter months.
• Repot every 2-3 years or when rootbound, choosing a pot only slightly larger to prevent overwatering issues.

• Provide bright, indirect light near an east or north-facing window to maintain pink variegation without scorching leaves. Avoid direct afternoon sun which can burn the delicate pink sections.
• Water when the top 2-3cm of soil feels dry, typically weekly in summer and fortnightly in winter. Use filtered or rainwater when possible as they're sensitive to chemicals in tap water.
• Maintain humidity levels of 60-70% by using a humidifier, pebble tray, or grouping with other plants. Mist regularly but avoid water sitting on leaves.
• Keep temperatures between 18-26°C year-round and protect from cold draughts and air conditioning vents. Growth slows significantly below 15°C.
• Provide a moss pole or trellis for climbing support as the plant matures, which encourages larger leaf development and better variegation.

• Aphids and spider mites can attack new growth - spray with insecticidal soap or neem oil weekly until eliminated. Check undersides of leaves regularly for early detection.
• Root rot from overwatering causes yellowing leaves and mushy stems - reduce watering immediately and repot in fresh, well-draining soil. Allow soil to dry between waterings.
• Loss of pink variegation occurs in low light conditions - move to a brighter location with indirect light. Prune any fully green leaves to encourage pink growth.
• Scale insects appear as small brown bumps on stems and leaves - remove manually with rubbing alcohol on cotton swabs. Treat weekly until completely gone.
