Philodendron ‘Painted Lady’ is a lovely tropical perennial aroid that is part of the Araceae family. It has lovely long, heart-shaped foliage with bright-pink petioles. New growth leaves unfurl as bright yellow-green and then turn into a deeper mottled green as they mature. It has a slow to moderate growth rate, but when placed in an ideal environment, it can reach up to 5 feet in height and its bright leaves can get over 1 foot wide. Painted Lady loves to climb so provide a vertical support and watch it soar.

Philodendron 'Painted Lady' Sunlight Requirements

This Philodendron requires medium to bright indirect light. Pale leaves are indicative of a plant getting too much sunlight, and if the trailing stems become leggy, that is an indicator it's not receiving enough sunlight. 

Philodendron 'Painted Lady' Care
