This lovely variegated philodendron is called a ‘Silver Stripe’ for the distinctive stripe of cream colored variegation that can often be observed running down the center of the leaf, over the central vein. This is a vining plant that can either cascade or be trained to climb if given support. General Care For best color and performance, grow in a bright, indirect light and allow soil to dry between watering. Provide a pole or support to climb and plant in a well-draining, aroid potting substrate. Philodendron are a tropical, vining plant native to tropical forests! They belong in the Araceae (Aroid) family along with Monstera, Epipremnum, and other aroids. In nature, they are found growing up trees, anchoring in place with aerial roots. As the plant matures and gains more height/stability, their leaves can get much larger.
