This striped pattern is one of the most decorative in the Philodendron family. Bands of bright white color adorn each of the small, heart-shaped leaves. As a point of difference from other standard plants, the variety is whiter and brighter on new growth, gradually working its way down the plant's leaves to reveal darker, richer jungle greens. A luxury with superior lighting that will light up smaller spaces.
Care Advice
Hit the light! Has your plant lost its stripes? Moving it to a brighter position will encourage new white streaks.
withering! This sensitive plant will not appreciate direct sunlight, the leaves will wither and eventually fall off. Solve with more shade.
Very dry and hanging! Your plant is saying that it is too dry if the tips of the leaves appear brownish and begin to climb up the leaf. Regular misting or moving to a humid room will do the trick.
