Philodendron Kathleen 10" Pot
Overview:
The Philodendron Kathleen is a striking tropical plant known for its deeply lobed, heart-shaped leaves with a unique mix of green and reddish hues. As the plant matures, it develops a stunning blend of deep green foliage with undertones of burgundy-red, especially along the stems and undersides of the leaves. This color contrast gives the Kathleen a vibrant, almost artistic appearance that makes it stand out among other philodendrons. With its bold and lush foliage, the Kathleen adds a lively and exotic touch to any indoor space, making it a popular choice for plant collectors and home decorators alike.
Light/Water Requirements:
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps to maintain the intensity of its red undertones. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can scorch the leaves.
- Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. The Kathleen prefers well-draining soil and appreciates consistent moisture, but be cautious of overwatering to prevent root rot.
