Philodendron "Strawberry Shake” - Exact Plant

Philodendron ‘Strawberry Shake’ is a highly sought-after collector Philodendron prized for its incredible, ever-changing variegation. Each leaf can display a unique combination of deep green, cream, yellow, peach, coral, and strawberry-pink tones, often appearing in marbled, speckled, or sectoral patterns.

Key Features:

Strawberry Shake is a climbing Philodendron that produces increasingly larger leaves as it matures. Providing a moss pole, plank, or other vertical support will encourage stronger growth and larger foliage. Like many highly variegated plants, it may grow somewhat more slowly than an all-green Philodendron. Can grow several feet tall with support. 

Pet Friendliness:

Not pet safe. 

Care Instructions:

Light: Provide plenty of bright, indirect light to encourage strong growth and vibrant variegation. A small amount of gentle morning or late-afternoon sun is usually fine, but avoid intense midday sunlight, which can scorch the lighter areas of the leaves.

Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Avoid overwatering, as the plant is susceptible to root rot. Ensure the pot has proper drainage.

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50% or more). Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or mist occasionally to maintain optimal conditions.

Temperature: Grows best in temperatures between 18–27°C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 13°C.

Soil: Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix, such as a blend of peat, perlite, and orchid bark for aeration.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer to support healthy, colorful growth. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

Pruning: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves to encourage new growth and maintain its vibrant appearance.
