Ed's Plant Shop Philodendron Paraiso Verde

The marbled patterns on this plant are light-dependent. To maintain its vibrant, shifting colors, place it in a spot with consistent, bright indirect light. If the light is too low, the leaves will revert to a solid, darker green.

It is entirely up to your preference. The Paraiso Verde is a vining Philodendron that will happily trail from a shelf or hanging basket, but providing a moss pole or trellis will encourage larger leaf growth and a more mature, dramatic appearance.

No, this plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation to the mouth, tongue, and throat, so it is best kept in a location out of reach of curious animals.

Water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. Because this variety prefers consistent moisture but hates sitting in water, ensure your pot has proper drainage and avoid letting the soil dry out completely between waterings.

This Philodendron prefers a stable, warm environment between 65–75°F. It appreciates moderate humidity, so it will do well in most standard home settings, though it may benefit from a humidifier or pebble tray during the drier winter months.
