These differ from Philodendron Silver Stripe in that they have an inner silver streak. True stunners and one you should definitely have in your collection.
We highly recommend providing a coco pole or other support structure for your Philodendron Rio to climb. As they climb higher, the leaves will grow larger.
Philodendron Rio care:
This Philodendron plant prefers a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Allow the soil to dry out almost completely before watering, taking care to not allow your Philodendron to sit in excess water. Provide your new indoor plant with plenty of bright indirect light for optimal growth.
