Philodendron 'Silver Stripe'

🔥🌿 Philodendron ‘Silver Stripe’ (fil-oh-DEN-dron SIL-ver STRIPE) 🌿🔥

Also known as: Silver Stripe Philodendron, Philodendron hederaceum ‘Silver Stripe’

A true favorite among vining philodendrons, Silver Stripe dazzles with elongated, heart-shaped leaves painted with multiple bands of variegation — creamy white and golden-yellow stripes running down the center, framed by dark green, often with a silvery shimmer. Closely related to Philodendron ‘Brasil,’ this variety has a softer, more elegant variegation pattern that makes each leaf look hand-painted.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Thrives in bright, indirect light to keep variegation crisp. Can adapt to medium light, but colors may fade. Avoid harsh direct sun that can scorch leaves.
💧 Water – Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Prefers evenly moist but well-draining soil. Do not allow it to stay soggy.
🌡️ Humidity – Enjoys moderate to high humidity (50%+), though it tolerates average household conditions. Ideal temps: 65–85°F (18–29°C).
🌱 Growth – Fast-growing trailing vine. Can be trained to climb a moss pole or allowed to cascade from a basket or shelf. Regular pruning encourages bushiness.

📊 Difficulty: Easy (forgiving and resilient, perfect for beginners and collectors alike).

🐾 Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested. Contains calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat, and stomach. All pets are unique and reactions may vary in symptoms and severity.

🌟 Collector’s Tip:
To keep variegation balanced, prune back any solid-green vines that appear. Provide steady bright, indirect light for the most striking stripes, and propagate cuttings easily in water or soil to share with friends.
