White Knight Philodendron Care

Philodendron Sp. 'white Knight'

What is the plant

White Knight is a very rare but easy to grow variegated philodendron that tends to be rather slow growing but well worth the wait. This leaves are splattered with color and it has the most unusual purple brown and cream colored stems. The reason for the slow growth is that the nodes are only a half inch apart creating a much more compact foliage appearance.

Sunlight
I would recommend you using about 30 to 50% potting mix and then for the rest of the soil, add perlite and orchid bark.
Soil
White Knight Philodendrons enjoy well drained but moist, rich organic mix. Remember try to stay away from wet, mucky or dry, sandy soils. To help establish your new White Knight Philodendron, fertilize sparingly at least 6 inches away from the base, tri-annually with a slow time released product.
Temperature
As a tropical plant, Philodendron White Knight enjoys warm temperatures. Aim for temperatures between 65 to 80 Fahrenheit during the day. At night, Philodendrons like it a bit colder.
