Philodendron ‘White Wizard’

Description:
Philodendron 'White Wizard' is a captivating and rare climbing variety known for its striking green leaves adorned with crisp white variegation. Its elegant contrast and glossy foliage make it a prized addition to any plant collection. This slow-growing philodendron is relatively easy to care for and can thrive indoors with the right balance of light, humidity, and well-draining soil. With proper support, such as a moss pole or trellis, 'White Wizard' will develop larger, beautifully variegated leaves over time, adding a sophisticated touch to any space.

Watering:
Allow the top inch of soil to dry before watering. Water thoroughly, ensuring proper drainage to prevent root rot. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, and reduce watering frequency during the cooler months when growth slows.

Fertilizer:
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (Spring and Summer) to encourage lush growth and maintain its stunning variegation. Reduce feeding in Fall and Winter when the plant enters a dormant phase.

Lighting:
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Adequate light is essential to maintain its white variegation, but direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent leaf scorching. If natural light is insufficient, a grow light can help support healthy growth.

Temperature:
Prefers warm temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Keep it away from cold drafts, air conditioning vents, or sudden temperature fluctuations, as these can stress the plant.

Humidity:
Enjoys moderate to high humidity (above 60%). If the air is dry, increase humidity by misting occasionally, placing the plant near a humidity tray, or using a room humidifier to promote optimal growth and prevent leaf browning.
