Philodendron ‘Painted Lady’ is cultivar from the Araceae family. It is a hybrid created by Robert H. McColley, a cross between Philodendron ‘Burgundy’ (P. Hastatum-Erubescens-Wendlandii-Imbe not otherwise identified) and a unpatented variety he identified as ‘Emerald Queen’.

Leaves are cordate (heart shaped), with new leaves having a yellow-green mottled appearance, as the plant matures, the leaves appear to be two shades of green. Stem, petiole and leaf sheath are red, this looks spectacular against the yellow-green of the leaves. This plant has a climbing growth habit so providing a stake or mosspole is recommended. 

Genus name comes from the Greek ‘philo’ meaning loving and ‘dendro’ meaning tree.

Pot: ø 12cm.

Height: Approximately 35cm from base of pot.
