Philodendron Caramel Marble Small

🍮🌿 Philodendron ‘Caramel Marble’ 🌿🍮
(pronounced “fill-oh-DEN-dron kar-uh-mel mar-buhl”)
Also known in trade as Philodendron erubescens ‘Caramel Marble’.

A decadent, color-shifting beauty, Philodendron ‘Caramel Marble’ is a rare variegated hybrid admired for its spectacular mosaic of caramel, cream, chartreuse, and chocolate tones. Each leaf is a mystery—some marbled like swirling toffee, others splashed with mint, peach, or soft pink undertones. Over time, the glossy leaves darken from warm bronze-orange hues into deep green with golden or mocha streaks, making every new unfurl a surprise.

💡 Care Tips:
☀️ Light – Bright, indirect light preserves strong variegation. Too little light encourages reversion; avoid intense sun that can scorch light areas.
💧 Water – Let the top 2 inches (5 cm) of soil dry between waterings. Prefers a well-draining, chunky aroid mix to keep roots aerated.
🌡️ Humidity – Enjoys 60 % + humidity for lush, consistent growth. Occasional misting or a humidifier helps maintain leaf vibrancy.
🌱 Growth – A climbing Philodendron erubescens hybrid. Mature leaves can reach 10–14 inches (25–35 cm) long, with new leaves often emerging coral or caramel-toned before deepening. Moderate grower when warm and stable.

📊 Difficulty: Intermediate (light and watering balance required for variegation stability)
🐾 Pet Safety: Mildly toxic if ingested; may cause stomach upset. All pets are unique, and symptoms can vary in presentation or severity.

🌟 Collector’s Tip
Philodendron ‘Caramel Marble’ is a mutation of the Red Emerald group, sharing ancestry with ‘Strawberry Shake’ and ‘White Knight’. Its variegation pattern is stable but unpredictable—some plants express heavy caramel and cream, while others lean toward minty green tones. To maintain strong color, provide bright light, moderate fertilization, and rotate occasionally so all sides receive equal exposure.
