Canopy Plant Co. Philodendron

Not permanently. The vibrant orange and mottled tones are specific to the new growth. As the leaves mature, they transition into a deep, rich green with gold speckling, creating a beautiful contrast between old and new foliage.

While not strictly required, a moss pole or trellis is highly recommended. Because this is a climbing variety, providing vertical support encourages the plant to produce larger, more mature leaves and mimics its natural growth habit.

It thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window with filtered sunlight or a spot that receives plenty of ambient brightness throughout the day to ensure the best color development.

No, this plant is not pet-friendly. Like many other Philodendrons, it contains calcium oxalate crystals which can be toxic if ingested by pets, so it is best kept on a high shelf or in a room inaccessible to animals.

The best method is to check the soil moisture with your finger. Wait until the top 1 to 2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch before watering again, which helps prevent root rot and keeps the plant healthy.
