Philodendron 'White Knight'

Highly coveted among collectors and often difficult to find, the Philodendron ‘White Knight’ is one of the newest and hottest plants right now, especially within the Instagram plant community. Showing off beautiful, pure white variegation this plant requires a lot of bright, indirect light to thrive and continue to produce variation. However, do not expose to direct light as this will burn the fragile white sections of the leaves. Slow to grow but well worth the wait, if you’re a rare plant collector be sure to grab one of these before they’re gone again!
