Philodendron 'Painted Lady' Rare

Philodendron Painted Lady is a rare variegated climbing Philodendron that is a long-standing favorite among serious collectors. Its large, heart-shaped leaves are a vivid chartreuse to lime-yellow when they first emerge, developing irregular patches of deeper green as they mature, with the older leaves settling into a complex, mottled green variegation. The petioles are a distinctive pink. Every stage of its growth produces a different combination of color, making it one of the most dynamic plants you can own.

Good for beginners? It requires moderate care. Painted Lady prefers bright indirect light, consistent moisture, and something to climb. It rewards attentive growers with impressive, fast growth.

Safe for cats and dogs? Philodendrons are toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs, or explore our pet-safe plant collection.

Light needs: Bright indirect light produces the most vivid chartreuse and yellow tones on new growth and the fastest overall growth. It tolerates medium light but the variegation becomes less vivid. Avoid direct sun which can scorch the bright new leaves.

Care at a glance: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Feed monthly in spring and summer. Provide a moss pole or trellis to encourage climbing and the development of larger, more dramatic leaves.
