Philodendron 'Snowdrift' D8 (strong variegation) - planta de colectie

Philodendron ‘Snowdrift’ is a remarkable hybrid from the Araceae family, valued for its large, elongated leaves with spots and shades in tones of white, cream, and green, reminiscent of melted snow on tropical foliage. A collector’s plant that combines elegance with an exotic air, suitable for modern interiors and bright corners.

🌱 Features:

– Young leaves are light green, marbled with white and cream, becoming darker as they mature.

– Vigorous growth, semi-climbing, ideal for large pots or moss pole supports.

– Easy-to-care-for indoor plant, with a lush appearance throughout the year.

💡 Care:

Light: prefers bright indirect light; avoid direct sun which can burn the leaves.

Watering: keep the soil lightly moist, without excess water. Let the top layer dry out between waterings.

Humidity: high (over 60%); regular misting or a humidifier is recommended.

Temperature: between 18–28°C, protected from cold drafts.

Fertilizing: every 3–4 weeks during the growing season, with liquid fertilizer for green plants.

Soil: airy, rich in organic matter, and with excellent drainage.

This variety has nectar-producing glands on the back of the leaves. The nectar attracts ants searching for food – thus, the plant gains chemical substances secreted by them, and also benefits from the aggressive way ant colonies defend their territory and food source, protecting the philodendron from other harmful insects.

📌 Note: Specimens may show leaves with scars or small aesthetic imperfections. The variegation is natural, and its intensity and distribution may vary from one leaf to another; plants are chosen randomly from stock.
