5” Philodendron Cream Splash Hanging Basket

• Leaves: The leaves of Philodendron Silver Stripe are large, heart-shaped, and have a glossy texture. The standout feature of this plant is the beautiful silver stripe that runs along the center of each leaf. The rest of the leaf is typically dark green, providing a stunning contrast. The silver stripe may vary in width, creating a unique and eye-catching pattern on the foliage.
• Growth: Philodendron Silver Stripe has a climbing or trailing growth habit. It can be trained to climb up a support or left to trail gracefully from hanging baskets or elevated surfaces. The plant develops aerial roots along the stems, aiding in climbing and attachment.
• Size: This variety of Philodendron can grow to a considerable size. The mature leaves can reach lengths of 6 to 10 inches (15 to 25 centimeters), and the overall size of the plant can vary depending on the growing conditions and available space.
• Light: It thrives in medium to bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Place it near a window with filtered light or in a spot with moderate to bright indirect light indoors.
• Watering: Allow the top inch (2.5 centimeters) of the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Philodendron Silver Stripe prefers slightly moist soil but does not tolerate overwatering. Water thoroughly and let the excess water drain away.
• Humidity: This plant appreciates higher humidity levels. Increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly or placing the plant on a tray filled with water and pebbles. Providing a humidifier or grouping it with other plants can also help create a more humid microclimate.
• Temperature: It prefers average to warm temperatures between 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Protect it from cold drafts or temperatures below 60°F (15°C).
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil or a commercial potting mix suitable for tropical plants is recommended.
• Propagation: Philodendron Silver Stripe can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take stem cuttings with a few nodes and plant them in well-draining soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until roots develop.
