Variegated Philodendron Billietiae Live Plant

The Philodendron Billietiae Variegated is a stunning tropical plant cherished for its striking foliage. Known for its large, glossy leaves, this Philodendron variety stands out due to its remarkable variegation—a mix of vibrant green hues alongside creamy or white markings that beautifully streak across the leaves.

WHAT WILL YOU RECEIVE: The same plant that is in the images.

Light: Moderate to bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. Adequate light encourages vibrant variegation.

Watering: Water when the top inch or two of the soil feels dry. Allow the soil to slightly dry out between waterings, but don't let it become completely dry.

Humidity: Maintain higher humidity levels, especially if you live in a drier climate. Mist the leaves regularly or use a humidifier to keep the air moist.

Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment, ideally between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid sudden temperature drops or drafts.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture but doesn’t become waterlogged. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and pine bark works well.

Potting: Repot the plant every couple of years or when it outgrows its container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage.

Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring through summer). Reduce feeding or stop during the dormant winter months.

Pruning: Trim yellowing or damaged leaves regularly to maintain the plant's appearance. Pruning also helps control its size and shape.

Support: As the Philodendron Billietiae Variegated grows, it might benefit from a stake or trellis for support, especially if it starts to vine.

Pests: Keep an eye out for common pests like spider mites or mealybugs. If detected, treat the plant promptly with gentle insecticidal soap or neem oil.
