Philodendrons With Color, Variegation and Distinctive Foliage
Some Philodendrons are collected for more than their growth habit. Pink variegation, orange new leaves, pale emergent foliage and unusual leaf shapes can make individual cultivars stand out. These five are useful examples of the range found within the genus.

1. Pink Princess
Pink Princess is known for variable pink variegation on dark foliage. Variegation differs from leaf to leaf and cannot be guaranteed to appear in a specific percentage or pattern.
2. Lemon Lime
Lemon Lime offers bright chartreuse foliage on a trailing or climbing plant. Its color comes from the cultivar rather than the kind of sectoral variegation seen on Pink Princess.
3. Prince of Orange
Prince of Orange is self-heading, with new leaves that emerge in warm orange tones before changing as they mature. It is a useful option for someone who wants color without long vines.
4. Florida Ghost
Florida Ghost is collected for deeply lobed foliage and pale new leaves that gradually change color as they mature. Light and plant maturity influence how the foliage develops.
5. Brandtianum
Brandtianum has silver patterning across green leaves and a vining growth habit. It can be trained upward or allowed to trail depending on the display.
Collector-Plant Expectations
Color, variegation and leaf shape can change as a plant grows. Product photos represent the variety, not a guarantee that every leaf on every specimen will have identical markings. Review the current product page for size and availability.
