Philodendron Paraiso Verde Care Sheet
The Philodendron Paraiso Verde is a rare and sought-after tropical plant known for its elongated, marbled leaves with stunning shades of green and creamy yellow variegation. A showstopper in any collection, this beauty thrives with the right care. Here's your guide to keeping your Paraiso Verde lush and healthy:
Care Instructions
Light
Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its unique variegation.
Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, and low light, which may reduce variegation.
Watering
Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry.
Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged.
Use filtered or distilled water to prevent mineral buildup that can harm the plant.
Humidity
Thrives in high humidity levels (60-80%).
Consider using a humidifier or placing the plant near a pebble tray or grouped with other plants to boost humidity.
Temperature
Maintain a temperature range of 65-80°F (18-27°C).
Protect from drafts, sudden temperature changes, and temperatures below 60°F (15°C).
Soil
Use a well-draining, airy potting mix with organic matter. A mix of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark works well to prevent root rot.
Fertilizer
Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer to support growth and variegation.
Reduce feeding in fall and winter when the plant's growth slows.
Repotting
Repot every 1-2 years, ideally in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound.
Use a pot slightly larger than the current one to prevent overwatering.
Pest Management
Regularly check for pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and scale.
Treat infestations promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
Additional Tips
Support: The Paraiso Verde is a climbing plant. Use a moss pole or trellis to encourage vertical growth and larger leaves.
Pruning: Remove yellow or damaged leaves to redirect the plant’s energy to healthy growth.
Cleaning: Wipe the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and enhance photosynthesis.
