Radiant Chartreuse Foliage with Dramatic, Deeply-Lobed Leaves
Philodendron ‘Warszewiczii Aurea’ (often misspelled “Warscewiczii”) is a collector standout: large, deeply lobed leaves in a vivid yellow-green that lights up any room. This fast-sizing climber/hemiepiphyte thrives in bright, indirect light and looks spectacular when trained up a moss pole or plank.
Why You’ll Love It

- Architectural, deeply lobed leaves for instant statement vibes

Plant Profile
- Botanical: Philodendron warszewiczii (var. ‘Aurea’)
- Form: Climbing/hemiepiphytic aroid; benefits from pole or plank
- Foliage: Large, deeply lobed, luminous yellow-green (chartreuse)
- Growth: Moderate to fast in warm, bright conditions
- Pet Safety: Not pet-safe (aroid calcium oxalates)
Care Guide
- Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid harsh midday sun to prevent scorch. A little soft morning sun is okay.
- Water: Water when the top 1" of mix is dry; keep evenly moist but never soggy. Always use a pot with drainage.
- Humidity: Tolerates average home humidity; 55–70%+ encourages larger leaves and faster growth.
- Soil: Chunky, well-draining aroid mix (bark, perlite/pumice, fiber). Avoid dense, peat-heavy soils.
- Feeding: Balanced liquid fertilizer at ¼–½ strength during active growth (spring–summer).
- Support: Train on a moss pole or wooden plank for bigger, more sculptural leaves.
- Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C); protect from cold drafts below 60°F (16°C).

- One Philodendron ‘Warszewiczii Aurea’ in growers pot (size selected above)

Styling & Placement

Pro Tips

- Rotate monthly for balanced growth and even leaf presentation.
- Wipe leaves occasionally to keep them dust-free and photosynthesizing at full power.

Live Plants – Frequently Asked Questions
Shipping
What size plant will I receive?
What size plant will I receive?
The size shown on the product page refers to the approximate diameter of the nursery pot, not the plant’s total height or width. Plant height, fullness, leaf size, vine length, and growth pattern naturally vary by variety and individual plant.
Will my plant look exactly like the photographs?
Will my plant look exactly like the photographs?
Each live plant is naturally unique. The plant you receive will be the variety and pot size ordered, but its shape, coloration, leaf count, fullness, and maturity may differ from the example photographs. Seasonal growth, recent pruning, and natural variation may also affect its appearance.
Is the decorative pot included?
Is the decorative pot included?
Unless the product listing specifically states otherwise, live plants arrive in a standard nursery grow pot. Decorative planters, baskets, saucers, stands, and other accessories are sold separately. Please review the product title and description to confirm what is included.
When will my plant ship or be delivered?
When will my plant ship or be delivered?
Please allow approximately 5–15 business days for processing and preparation. Five business days is the earliest end of the range, and many orders require most or all of the stated processing window.
Processing time is separate from carrier transit time. Local NYC delivery also requires preparation and does not automatically mean same-day or next-day service.
Orders may occasionally require additional time because of plant availability, order volume, weather, seasonal demand, or courier coordination. We will send an update when confirmed fulfillment, tracking, or delivery information becomes available.
How are live plants packaged?
How are live plants packaged?
Each live plant is inspected and packed according to its size, shape, and shipping needs. Soil and foliage may be secured to reduce movement during transit, and protective materials may be added when appropriate.
Temporary drooping, shifted soil, limited leaf loss, or minor cosmetic stress can occur while a plant adjusts after shipping. This does not necessarily mean the plant is unhealthy.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
What should I do when my plant arrives?
Unpack the plant promptly and carefully remove all protective packaging. Place it in appropriate light and allow it time to adjust to its new environment.
Check the soil before watering. Do not water automatically upon arrival because the plant may already have adequate moisture. Avoid immediately fertilizing, heavily pruning, or repeatedly moving the plant while it acclimates.
Should I repot my plant immediately?
Should I repot my plant immediately?
We generally recommend allowing a newly delivered plant time to acclimate before repotting unless there is an urgent plant-health reason to do so.
Repotting an eligible small plant during the first 15 days may void the Plant Health Guarantee because it can make the cause of decline difficult to determine.
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?

Small plants in nursery pots measuring 8 inches and below may also qualify for our 15-Day Plant Health Guarantee. Large plants in nursery pots measuring 10 inches and above have a 48-hour inspection and reporting window.
