DESCRIPTION

Origin : South-American rainforests
Personality : Killing it would be a master move
Earmark : Absolutely exceptional saw-shaped foliage probably one of the most colorful ones in the Philodendron variety if it variegates.
Say something smart : Philodendron Caramel Marble is today one of the most researched Philodendron in the World. Collectors have been seaking it at never seen prices. Still as rare, it is a unicorn you should patiently cherish, as its growth is a bit slow.

CARE

Which container?

A planter usually looks nice, but we recommend not to plant your new baby directly in one.
Leave it in its current pot until Spring, then ideally transfer it into a terracota pot with little drain holes when it looks cramped.

Finding its place

Brightness : Good level of brightness, as close as possible from a window but no direct sun.
Avoid letting it feel draughts near the windows and take it away from heating sources.
Humidity : 60 % or more.
Tip : Spray its leaves with water (ideally rain-water) once a week. 
Tip 2 : Place some wet clay pebbles under the pot, so they keep diffusing humidity. 
Temperature : Min : 18°C | Max : 28°C | Ideal : 20-22°C

Day-to-day care

Watering (purely indicative, depends on your local environment): once a week in Spring/Summer, and once every 10 days in Autumn and Winter.
Tip : Put your knuckle in the ground. If it feels totally dry, add some water to keep the soil wet (but not soaking it). 
Fertilizer : Once every other week, from April to October
