Philodendron tortum variegata

Philodendron tortum variegata is a rare and stunning variegated version of the already iconic Philodendron tortum. Its narrow, deeply lobed leaves have a skeletal appearance and are adorned with creamy white to yellow-green variegation, creating a striking contrast against the dark green foliage. Each leaf is uniquely patterned, making this plant a true collector’s gem for those who seek the exceptional.

Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Variegation shows best in brighter spots, but avoid direct sun to prevent leaf damage.

Watering
Water when the top 2–3 cm (about 1 inch) of soil feels dry. Keep soil slightly moist but never soggy.

Humidity
Prefers high humidity, ideally above 60 percent, to support healthy growth and prevent crisping leaf edges.

Temperature
Best kept between 18–26 °C (65–79 °F). Protect from drafts and sudden temperature shifts.

Soil
Use a light, airy and well-draining mix. A combination of coco coir, perlite and bark works very well.

Fertilizing
Feed lightly every two weeks during the growing season. Avoid strong fertilizers that may disrupt the variegation.
