Filodendro ‘Cream Splash’

Philodendron hederaceum ‘Cream Splash’, also known as variegated trailing philodendron, is a rare and refined variety, grown for its spectacular foliage in multiple shades: dark green as a base, crossed by stripes and spots in tones of light green, cream, yellowish, and sometimes silvery. The variegation is irregular and different on each leaf, creating a vibrant and elegant effect at the same time.

This variety has a trailing or climbing habit, with thin and flexible shoots, making it ideal for hanging pots, high shelves, or vertical supports. It is an easy-to-grow plant, with low maintenance, highly valued in collections of tropical indoor plants.

🌿 General characteristics:

• Plant type: tropical perennial, decorative for its foliage

• Leaves: heart-shaped, variegated with dark green, yellow-cream, and silvery accents

• Habit: trailing or climbing, with fast and easy growth

☀️ Growing conditions:

• Light: strong indirect light; too little light reduces variegation
