Philodendron Jungle Fever Variegata - Preorder

Philodendron Jungle Fever Variegata is a rare variegated cultivated Philodendron prized for its bold coloration and expressive foliage. Jungle Fever is a horticultural selection with no documented wild origin and is valued for its large heart shaped leaves that display dramatic patterning. In the variegated form the rich green base is overlaid with striking marbling and splashes of cream pale yellow and soft mint tones creating a vibrant almost painted appearance. Variegation intensity can vary from leaf to leaf making every plant visually unique and highly collectible.

Because of its ornamental value and the sometimes unstable nature of variegation this Philodendron performs best in controlled indoor environments where stable conditions support healthy growth and consistent coloration.

Care guide

Light
Bright indirect light. Provide strong filtered light to encourage balanced growth and maintain vibrant variegation. Avoid direct sunlight, which can damage the lighter areas of the leaves.

High Humidity
Moderate to high humidity is preferred, ideally above sixty percent. Consistent humidity helps prevent stress and supports healthy foliage.

Soil
Light chunky soil mix. Use an airy, well draining aroid substrate rich in organic matter to support healthy roots.

Watering
Keep evenly moist. Allow the top layer of the substrate to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely or remain waterlogged.

Temperature
Keep it warm between twenty and twenty eight degrees Celsius, or sixty eight to eighty two degrees Fahrenheit. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Fertilizer
Light regular feeding during the growing season supports steady growth. Use a balanced fertilizer at low strength.

Growth habit and additional care
Upright to lightly climbing growth with broad decorative foliage. Variegated leaves are sensitive to stress, low humidity and inconsistent care, so stable conditions, minimal handling and a consistent routine are essential for long term success.
