Plant Care Guide

• Botanical Name: Philodendron sp. 'Paraiso Verde'
• Common Names: Paraiso Verde, Marina Ruy Barbosa Philodendron
• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal to preserve the striking variegation. Avoid direct afternoon sun (leaf scorch) and low-light conditions (reversion to solid green).
• Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Keep consistently moist but never soggy — root rot is the #1 killer of this plant.
• Soil & Potting: Use a chunky, well-draining mix: coco peat + perlite + orchid bark works beautifully.
• Humidity & Temperature: Thrives at 65–85°F (18–29°C) with humidity above 60%. A humidifier or pebble tray helps in dry climates.
• Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
• Growth & Support: A natural viner — give it a moss pole or trellis and watch the leaves grow larger and more dramatic over time.
• Propagation: Easily propagated via stem cuttings with a node and aerial root.

Common Issues

• Variegation loss: Increase light intensity if leaves begin reverting to solid green.
• Mushy leaves: Improve air circulation if high humidity and cool temps are causing soft foliage.
• Pests: Generally low-maintenance, but watch for spider mites or mealybugs — treat early with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
