The Paraiso Verde Philodendron is a rare houseplant that stands out due to its highly variegated foliage. The lobed leaves have an elongated heart shape and feature swirls and splotches of bright green and yellow. The variegation on each leaf is random and unique. While the Paraiso Verde Philodendron is fast-growing and somewhat particular about its care, it is easy to maintain, and the stunning variegation makes it worth the effort.
Best Locations For Growing Paraiso Verde Philodendron
A prominent spot with plenty of sunlight will help the Paraiso Verde Philodendron thrive, allowing you to admire it easily. Keep the plant away from drafts often found near exterior doors or windows. Its upright, climbing growth habit makes it suitable for a table or as a floor plant as it matures. Take care with this plant, as it is toxic to humans and animals, making it a poor choice for homes with small children or pets.
Paraiso Verde Philodendron Sunlight Requirements
Bright, indirect sunlight is essential for the Paraiso Verde Philodendron. Sufficient light encourages and maintains its vibrant variegation, allowing the plant to look its best. Placing it several feet away from a south-facing window or closer to an east- or west-facing window will provide ample light. Sunlight significantly impacts the plant’s variegation, which may appear muted in winter when daylight is limited. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, so avoid exposure to harsh rays.
Paraiso Verde Philodendron Care
This Philodendron is a natural climber and will benefit from a moss pole or other support. If using a moss pole or board, keep the surface damp to encourage the aerial roots to latch on. Prune as needed to maintain size or encourage more growth. Repot the Paraiso Verde Philodendron every one to two years; it may need a larger container and will benefit from fresh soil. Use a potting mix that is moist, well-drained, slightly acidic, and rich in organic matter.
Watering Paraiso Verde Philodendron
Wait until the top few inches of soil dry out before watering the Paraiso Verde Philodendron. While the soil deeper in the pot can remain damp, ensure the top layer is dry. Saturate the soil and remove any runoff from the saucer or outer pot. Water every 7 to 10 days as needed, and reduce the frequency during winter. Place the plant in an area with average or above-average humidity.
Feeding Paraiso Verde Philodendron
Proper nutrition in the form of fertilizer helps the Paraiso Verde Philodendron thrive. Feed this Philodendron with balanced, water-soluble plant food monthly. Regular fertilization during the active growing season encourages new foliage and root growth, promoting overall plant health. A water-soluble formula reduces the risk of fertilizer burn, ensuring the roots can easily absorb the nutrients.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
