Philodendron Strawberry Shake

🍓🌿 Philodendron ‘Strawberry Shake’ 🌿🍓
(pronounced “fill-oh-DEN-dron straw-ber-ee shake”)
Also known as Philodendron erubescens ‘Strawberry Shake’.

Sweet, striking, and utterly one-of-a-kind, Philodendron ‘Strawberry Shake’ is a highly sought-after variegated cultivar known for its kaleidoscope of colors. Each leaf is a work of art—unfurling in soft pinks, creamy yellows, lime greens, and deep red stems that give the plant its dessert-inspired name. Over time, the leaves shift in hue, blending blush tones and bright greens into a marbled masterpiece that feels both tropical and whimsical.

💡 Care Tips:
☀️ Light – Bright, indirect light enhances pink and cream tones. Too little light causes reversion to green, while too much sun may scorch delicate variegation.
💧 Water – Let the top 2 inches (5 cm) of soil dry between waterings. Prefers an airy, well-draining mix of bark, perlite, and coco coir.
🌡️ Humidity – Thrives at 60 %+ humidity. Consistent moisture in the air supports bold, vibrant color development.
🌱 Growth – A climbing Philodendron erubescens hybrid that appreciates a moss pole for vertical support. Mature leaves typically reach 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) long. Growth speed is moderate but stable once established.

📊 Difficulty: Intermediate (light-sensitive but otherwise hardy)
🐾 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 ‘Strawberry Shake’ is a variegated sport of Philodendron Red Emerald, meaning no two plants are identical—some display speckled pink marbling, while others feature half-moon or sectoral splits of red, cream, and green. Maintaining balanced light is key to preserving variegation without burning the lighter pigments. Occasional rotation ensures even coloration on all sides.
