Yume Gardens Philodendron Strawberry Shake

Bare-root shipping means the plant is removed from its pot and soil before transit to reduce weight and prevent rot. Upon arrival, you will need to immediately pot it in a well-draining aroid soil mix and water it thoroughly to help the roots settle.

This variety thrives in bright, indirect light, which is essential to maintain its unique variegation. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings, and ensure it is kept in a humid environment, ideally between 50% and 70% humidity.

The Strawberry Shake is known for its beautiful, unpredictable variegation, but like many variegated aroids, it can occasionally produce leaves that revert to solid green. Providing consistent, bright light is the best way to encourage the plant to continue producing its signature pink and cream patterns.

Carefully inspect the foliage and root system upon arrival. Pot the plant in a chunky, airy potting mix designed for aroids, place it in a spot with bright, indirect light, and avoid fertilizing for the first few weeks to let the plant acclimate to your home's environment.

The live arrival guarantee ensures that your plant arrives in a healthy, viable condition. If the plant arrives damaged or in poor health, contact customer support immediately with photos of the specimen so they can assess the situation and provide a replacement or resolution.
