Description

Dramatic White Variegation

Philodendron White Measure is a compact, upright hybrid renowned for its dramatic variegation. Mature leaves are ovate to heart-shaped, cloaked in contrasting pinstripes of pure white to neon yellow against a deep green backdrop. On rare occasions, broad blotches of variegation appear, creating a striking, painterly effect.


Botanical Profile

  • Growth Habit: Self-supporting, bushy perennial reaching 1–3 ft tall indoors 
  • Leaf Morphology: Thick, glossy leaves with stable variegation; new foliage emerges with pinstripe patterns that intensify with maturity.
  • Toxicity: All parts are toxic if ingested; typical of Araceae, handle with care and keep out of reach of pets and children.

Care Requirements

  • Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal to maintain crisp variegation; tolerates medium light but may revert or fade in low-light conditions. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the white margins
  • Water: Water when the top 1 in of soil dries; ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot. Do not allow the plant to sit in water.
  • Humidity & Temperature: Prefers 50–70% humidity and temperatures between 65–80 °F. In drier homes, occasional misting or a pebble tray helps maintain leaf vibrancy.
  • Soil & Fertilizer: A well-draining aroid mix (peat–bark–perlite) supports healthy root growth. Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer.

Display & Styling Tips

  • Design Accent: The graphic variegation complements minimalist interiors and modern botanica-themed spaces. Pair with dark pots to accentuate the white pinstripes.
  • Propagation: Easily propagated via stem cuttings in water or soil at visible leaf nodes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping

How do you ship your plants?

We carefully package each plant with love by hand right from our shop in Brooklyn. Extra steps are taken to ensure that every leaf arrives in pristine shape by using polyfill and encapsulating the plant in a protective paper sleeve. The soil is also hydrated before shipping so that the plant has plenty of water for it's travel to your doorstep. We offer several shipping speeds, so please choose the one that you feel comfortable with depending on your location. 

Will my plant look like the one on the website?

Awesome question, we're glad you asked. Given the nature of our plant shop, we're constantly moving plants in and out of the shop, making it difficult and borderline impossible to keep an exact picture of each plant. In addition to the constantly rotating crop, we often grow in batches of 6, 12, or sometimes more! With this quantity we are unable to take a photo of each and every plant. The photos that we attach to each product listing is going to be of a plant that represents the average size and fullness of that set of plants. Some may be slightly larger or smaller, but in general, similar.

Do you include heat packs with your plants?

We offer Heat Packs for sale separately from the plants in 40, 60 and 72 hour increments. Please add a heat pack or two to your order if you live in an area where your order may be affected during transit by cold temperatures. We are not responsible for orders that are placed and damage is incurred to the plant if a heat pack is not purchased.

Which heat pack should I choose?

Heat packs come in three different increments, so please choose the appropriate hour increment depending on the speed of shipping that you choose during checkout. For example, if you choose a cheaper shipping option that will take longer, please select the 72 hour heat pack. If you've chosen a shorter method of shipping, the 40 or 60 hour increment would work! We like to encourage our customers to always get more than you need, just to be on the safe side!
