Description

Philodendron Mamei is a beautiful creeping aroid that produces heart-shaped leaves with silver variegation. The leaves are ridged and the petiole is ruffled and reddish at the base of the leaf. Thanks to the short nodes, this plant tends to have fuller appearance. Although Mamei is believed to be terrestrial, some have seen it climb the trees out in the wild.

Grow your Philodendron in a well draining potting mix, like our aroid mix or in a soil-less medium like sphagnum moss or perlite/vermiculite.

If you are a Philodendron enthusiast, here are a few more interesting species: Philodendron, Philodendron Pink Princess, Philodendron hederaceum var hederaceum.

Philodendron Care Tips

Light

Philodendrons thrive in medium to bright indirect light, but will tolerate darker spots as well.

Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as our Aroid Potting Mix, ideally containing some coco coir, bark and perlite. You can also grow Philodendrons in soil-less mixes like sphagnum moss and perlite or hydroponics.

Water

Philodendrons like their soil to dry between waterings. Water when the top 3cm of soil are totally dry to the touch.

Humidity

Most Philodendron, especially the Erubesecens varieties, will thrive in average humidity. However, some of the more tropical and velvety species will require higher humidity to survive. 

Toxicity

All Philodendron are toxic to humans and animals if ingested.
