Philodendron pinnatifidum Snowdrift

The Philodendron Snowdrift is a striking and rare variety of Philodendron known for its large, heart-shaped leaves. These leaves are characterized by a beautiful variegation pattern, featuring a mix of creamy white, light green, and dark green patches. The variegation can vary from leaf to leaf, making each one unique. The plant has a bushy growth habit and can grow quite large if given the right conditions. The stems are typically a vibrant green, adding to the plant's overall aesthetic appeal.

Care Plan

1. Light Requirements

   • Ideal: Bright, indirect light is best for the Philodendron Snowdrift. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can cause the variegation to fade.
   • Tolerable: It can tolerate lower light conditions but will grow more slowly and may lose some of its vibrant colouring.

2. Watering

   • Frequency: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. During the growing season (spring and summer), this may be once a week. In the dormant season (Autumn and winter), reduce watering frequency.
   • Method: Water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain out. Avoid letting the plant sit in water to prevent root rot.
   • Ideal: This plant thrives in higher humidity levels (60-80%).18-27°C). It prefers warm conditions and should be kept away from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.
