This striped sensation is one of the most decorated of the Philodendron family. Bright white inky banding adorns each of the small heart-shaped leaves. As a point of difference from other patterned plants, the variegation is whiter and brighter on the new growth, slowly graduating down the plant’s leaves to reveal darker, richer jungle greens. A top-lit luxury that will glow up smaller spaces.
Light
Philodendron White Wave is happy in a shaded area but best in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as this will scorch the leaves, taking a long time to recover.
Watering
Water little and often, keeping the soil moist at all times. Allow the top of the soil to slightly dry out in-between watering. Water less during the winter. Will tolerate some degree of drought better than being too wet.
Temperature
Average to warm household temperatures from 18-28°C and short periods down to 13°C at an absolute push. Avoid cold draughts.
Humidity
Philodendrons are versatile when it comes to humidity levels, however, a good misting on those dry days will help keep the foliage looking fresh.
Feed
Apply a weak solution of liquid fertiliser once a month during the growing season.
Height & Growth Rate
A smaller and slower grower than other Philodendron. Mature Philodendron White Wave plants can reach an indoor height of up to 1 m.
Air Purifying
Philodendron filter airborne toxins such as such as formaldehyde, benzene and trichloroethylene from the atmosphere and they are part of our clean air plant collection.
Blozem Hints 🔴
🌿Get the light right! Has your plant lost its stripes? Moving it to a brighter position will encourage new white stripes.
🌿Wilting away! This sensitive plant won’t thank you for direct light, leaves will fade and wilt, eventually dropping off. Solve with more shade.
🌿Too dry to cry! Your plant is telling you it is too dry if brown leaf tips appear and start creeping up the leaves. Regular misting or moving to a humid room will remedy this.
