Origin
The Philodendron scandens 'Variegata' is an exotic climbing plant that is native to Central and South America. This particular type of Philodendron, also known as the Heart-Leaf Philodendron, is admired for its colour variation and makes an interesting addition to any plant collection.

Characteristics
A striking characteristic of the Philodendron scandens 'Variegata' is the variegated foliage, where green and cream colours harmoniously come together. The large, heart-shaped leaves are the trademark of this plant species. It is a fast-growing type that climbs in trees as an epiphyte in nature, but is often kept as a hanging plant at home.

Care
In terms of care, the Philodendron scandens 'Variegata' prefers a bright location, but also tolerates partial shade. The plant has minimal requirements for the soil, as long as it is well-draining to prevent root rot. Regular watering is necessary, but it is important to prevent the roots from standing in wet soil for extended periods of time. Finally, this plant species does well at average room temperature and relative humidity.
