Philodendron bipinnatifidum 'Caramel Marble' is a spectacular species (how could it not be?) due to its remarkable foliage and unique variegation pattern. On mature plants, the leaves reach impressive sizes, defined by serrated edges and an almost infinite range of shades—from beige and pink to dark brown. 

Like all Philodendron species, Philodendron Caramel Marble thrives in abundant indirect light (exposure to direct sunlight can cause its leaves to lose color) and prefers a substrate that is watered when the top two centimeters have dried out. 

The plant should be mounted on a support pole wrapped in coconut fiber or moss, in which case the aerial roots will cling to this support, resulting in a plant with a more vigorous stem and increasingly larger leaves.

Attention! To check the moisture level of the substrate, inserting a finger into the pot at a depth of 2 cm is the best way to measure soil moisture.

Thus, if you feel the substrate is wet, keep the watering can away from it for one to two days, and if you feel it's dry, water it.

Attention 2! When watering, consider the pot in which the plant is planted, as well as the amount of substrate and its degree of aeration. In other words, don't pour a liter of water into a pot with a diameter and height of 12 cm, as you may drown the plant's roots. It's best to discard excess water from the collector pot half an hour after watering.

Good luck with caring for it! And don't forget to give us updates about your plant, using the hashtag #greenmirrors and tagging @green.mirrors in your Instagram posts! We promise to share them in our stories.
