Jayme Garden Philodendron Thai Sunrise

No, this plant is not pet-friendly. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation to the mouth, tongue, and throat if ingested by cats or dogs.

To keep the yellow and green variegation vibrant, place it in a spot with bright, indirect sunlight. Too little light may cause the leaves to lose their unique coloring and turn primarily green.

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. It prefers to be kept consistently moist but not soggy, so ensure your pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.

This variety has an upright, bushy growth habit and will reach a mature height of about three feet. While it is compact enough for tabletops now, you may eventually need to move it to a floor stand as it matures.

Use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix. A standard indoor plant mix amended with perlite or orchid bark works well to ensure excess water drains away from the roots.
