Pro Tip
If you’re growing it on a moss pole, mist the pole occasionally to encourage aerial root growth and stronger upward development.
-
Light and Placement
Best in bright, indirect light to preserve its vivid leaf color. It can tolerate medium light, but lower light may cause fading and slower growth. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch its delicate new leaves.
-
Watering and Care
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Painted Lady prefers evenly moist soil, but overwatering can lead to root issues. Use a well-draining mix and a pot with drainage. Moderate humidity will help maintain healthy foliage, especially during dry months.
-
Growth and Size
This is a climbing variety that benefits from a support pole or moss stick. Indoors, it can grow several feet tall over time. Leaves typically grow larger and more colorful as the plant matures.
-
Pet-Friendly?
As with most philodendrons, this plant is considered toxic if ingested. Keep it out of reach of pets who may chew on leaves. -
Benefits and Air Quality
While known more for its ornamental foliage, Painted Lady also contributes to cleaner indoor air by gently filtering pollutants. -
Difficulty level
Moderate – Not difficult, but thrives best with stable humidity, regular watering, and bright filtered light.
