Orange Lake Nursery Philodendron Paraiso Verde

To keep those signature lime and creamy yellow splashes vibrant, place the plant in a spot with bright, indirect light. If the light is too dim, the new leaves may revert to solid green.

While not strictly required, a moss pole or trellis is highly recommended. As a vining philodendron, it will grow larger, more mature leaves when it has a structure to climb.

Check the soil moisture by sticking your finger about 2-3 inches deep. Water the plant only when that top layer feels dry to the touch, ensuring the pot has proper drainage.

No, this plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept on a high shelf or in a room that your animals cannot access.

Since it arrives in a 3-inch nursery pot, let it acclimate to your home's light and humidity for a few weeks before repotting. Avoid placing it in direct sun immediately, as it needs time to adjust to your specific environment.

It prefers higher humidity, but it can adapt to average indoor conditions. If you notice crispy leaf edges, consider placing it near a humidifier or grouping it with other plants to create a more humid microclimate.
