Philodendron Snowdrift 12cm

🌿 Philodendron ‘Snowdrift’ Care Guide

The Philodendron ‘Snowdrift’ is a tropical beauty — a creamy, marbled masterpiece believed to be a hybrid of Philodendron pinnatum and Philodendron giganteum. Its large, glossy leaves are splashed with frosty white, minty green, and soft speckles, giving it the look of snow caught on jungle leaves. Elegant, bold, and full of texture — it’s a true collector’s favourite.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to enhance its creamy variegation

• Can tolerate gentle morning sun, but avoid harsh direct rays

• Too little light may fade variegation and slow growth

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist, letting the top 2–3 cm dry between waterings

• Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix (bark, perlite, coco coir)

• Avoid letting it sit in water — roots like moisture, not puddles

🌫️ Humidity

• Loves high humidity (60–80%) for lush, glossy growth

• Mist occasionally or use a humidifier to mimic its rainforest home

• Protect from cold drafts and dry air

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a gentle, balanced fertilizer

• Hold off feeding during cooler months

🌱 Quick Tips

• Provide a moss pole or climbing support to encourage large, showy leaves

• Wipe leaves gently to show off their frosted marbling

• Not pet-safe — keep away from cats and dogs
