Philodendron Painted Lady
Philodendron
This popular Philodendron cultivar is beloved for its dramatic, heart-shaped leaves that emerge a bright lime green with yellow speckling before darkening slightly with age. The stems provide a beautiful contrast with a distinctive reddish hue that intensifies in bright, indirect light. As a trailing or climbing vine, it makes an excellent addition to indoor collections, whether trained up a moss pole or allowed to drape gracefully from a hanging basket.
Philodendron 'Painted Lady' is a stunning tropical houseplant prized for its vibrant yellow-green variegated foliage and striking pinkish-red petioles.
