Philodendron Painted Lady

Philodendron Painted Lady

Philodendron Painted Lady is a vibrant climbing aroid celebrated for its neon-chartreuse foliage and striking pink stems. New leaves emerge in a bright yellow-green flush, fading to a luscious green as they mature, creating a dynamic display of color and texture. The bold contrast between leaf and stem brings tropical energy and artistic flair to any indoor space.

This cultivar is a hybrid of Philodendron erubescens and Philodendron burgundy, selected for its luminous coloring and signature pink petioles. As a climbing variety, Painted Lady thrives with a moss pole or support, which encourages taller growth and larger, more dramatic foliage. With adequate light and humidity, its vibrant coloring becomes even more pronounced.

Despite its exotic look, Philodendron Painted Lady is easy to grow indoors. With regular care and the right environment, it rewards collectors with fast, upright growth and consistently colorful leaves. It’s an eye-catching addition for anyone looking to add a tropical statement piece to their home or collection.

care instructions:

Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain vibrant leaf color; avoid direct sun to prevent scorching.
Soil Needs: Requires a chunky, well-draining potting mix; an aroid mix with orchid bark, perlite, and peat or coco coir is ideal.
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil is dry; avoid waterlogging.
Humidity: Prefers high humidity; mist regularly or place near a humidifier for optimal growth.
Fertilizing: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Pruning: Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves at the base to maintain appearance and encourage healthy growth.
Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots become crowded to refresh soil and support continued growth.
