Exhibition & location

The Philodendron Diamond Variegata enjoys bright indirect light to maintain its vibrant variegations. It tolerates partial shade but prefers bright exposure to preserve its spectacular marbling.

• Exposure: bright indirect light, partial shade, avoid direct sun.
• Ideal: bright living room, office, bedroom, or room with window without direct sun.
• Temperature: 18 to 27 °C, without sudden changes.
• Substrate: light, rich, and well-draining, universal potting soil with perlite.

Verdeia tip: the brighter the light (without direct sun), the more vibrant the cream variegations will be. In shade, the leaves become greener.

Watering & care

• Watering: moderate; let the top 3-5 cm of substrate dry out between waterings.
• Frequency: about once a week in spring-summer, reduce to once every 2 weeks in winter.
• Drainage: essential — use a pot with drainage holes and well-draining substrate.
• Humidity: enjoys 50-70% humidity, mist occasionally or place near other plants.
• Fertilizer: once a month in spring-summer with diluted liquid fertilizer for green plants.
• Cleaning: gently wipe the large leaves with a damp cloth to preserve their variegated shine.

The Philodendron prefers a slightly moist substrate but never waterlogged — avoid excess water that causes leaves to yellow.
