Philodendron serratum Caramel Marble Albo

Philodendron Caramel Marble Albo is an extraordinary and rare variety of philodendron prized for its stunning variegation. The plant features large, lobed leaves with an intriguing blend of warm caramel tones and creamy white or light green patches. This variegation creates a striking contrast, with the marbled patterns.

Care Plan

Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Too much direct sunlight can cause leaf burn, while too little light may reduce variegation.

Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 18°C to 24°C. Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.

Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist. Water when the top 2.5 cm of soil feels dry. Be careful not to let the plant sit in water, as it may lead to root rot.

Humidity: Enjoys higher humidity, so misting occasionally or placing the plant on a humidity tray can help. If the air is dry, you may also want to use a humidifier.

Soil: Well-draining, airy potting mix, like a mix designed for aroids, will allow for good root health.

Fertilising: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). In winter, reduce feeding as the plant’s growth slows.

Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.
