The Philodendron White Wizard is a stunning and rare variegated variety that enchants collectors with its bold white and green marbled leaves. Each heart-shaped leaf is uniquely patterned, with crisp white patches and streaks standing out dramatically against deep green. Its elegant climbing growth habit and clean contrast make it a perfect statement plant for a modern or minimalist space. If you're after a sophisticated aroid with serious wow factor, this is it.
Size and Growth
White Wizard is a vining Philodendron and will happily climb a moss pole or trellis. It typically grows 1–2 feet (30–60 cm) tall indoors in its early stages but can reach greater heights over time. New leaves emerge with unpredictable variegation, making every leaf a surprise.
Pet Friendliness
Philodendron White Wizard is toxic to pets if ingested. It contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation or digestive discomfort. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs.
Care Instructions
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the variegated portions. Low light may reduce variegation.
Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Ensure proper drainage and never allow the plant to sit in soggy soil.
Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity (50–70%). Mist occasionally or use a humidifier for best results.
Temperature: Keep in a warm room between 18°C–27°C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.
Soil: Use a well-draining, airy mix. A blend of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark is ideal for this climbing aroid.
Fertilizer: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer. Hold off during fall and winter.
Pruning: Trim leggy or damaged stems to encourage bushier growth. Use clean shears and propagate cuttings if desired.
Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow the pot. Choose a pot with drainage and refresh the soil mix.
Pro Tip: To maintain strong variegation, provide consistent bright indirect light and rotate the plant every few weeks for even growth.
