Philodendron Calkins Gold has yellow and green mottled variegated foliage. The leaves on this plant can grow quite large when it's allowed to climb up a pole.
While commonly confused with Philodendron Painted Lady this cultivar has leaves that point up, it lacks the pink petiole and generally has tighter internode spacing. Philodendron Painted Lady leaves point down, the petiole is pink and generally has larger internode spacing.
Philodendron Calkins Gold care:
Allow the soil to dry out almost completely between watering. Provide it with low to medium indirect light and watch it grow!
