🤍 Philodendron ‘White Knight’ – Care Guide

Philodendron ‘White Knight’ is a stunning and rare collector’s plant admired for its deep green to burgundy leaves with bold white variegation and striking white stems (petioles). This climbing variety is a must-have for aroids enthusiasts, offering dramatic contrast and elegant form in any plant collection.

☀️ Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain crisp white variegation.

• Can tolerate medium light, but leaves may become greener with less variegation.

• Avoid direct sun—especially strong afternoon rays—to prevent leaf burn.

• Grows well under full-spectrum grow lights.

💧 Watering

• Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil feels dry.

• Keep soil lightly moist, not wet—overwatering can lead to rot.

• Use pots with drainage holes and avoid letting it sit in water.

• Reduce watering during the cooler/dormant season.

🌱 Soil

• Thrives in a chunky, airy aroid mix:

  Potting soil + orchid bark + perlite + coco coir + a bit of charcoal.

• Ensures proper drainage and prevents soggy roots.

💦 Humidity

• Loves high humidity (60–80%) for optimal growth and variegation.

• Use a humidifier, humidity tray, or group with other plants.

• Dry air can cause browning on white portions of the leaves.

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 18–28°C (65–82°F).

• Sensitive to cold—keep away from drafts and maintain above 12°C (54°F).

🍃 Fertilizer

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring–autumn with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer.

• Over-fertilizing can damage variegated parts—go light.

• Avoid feeding in winter when growth slows.

✂️ Growth Habit & Maintenance

• White Knight is a climber—supports like moss poles or coco poles will help it grow upright and develop larger leaves.

• Prune back leggy growth to maintain shape and encourage fuller growth.

• Grows moderately fast under ideal conditions.

✨ Special Features

• Striking white stems and bold white variegation make every new leaf unique.

• Compact but dramatic—ideal for indoor tropical styling.

✅ Display Tips

• Looks stunning on a shelf with a pole, or trained up a plant totem.

• Let it shine as a statement piece against a dark or neutral wall.

• Perfect for plant collectors and modern decor lovers.

⚠️ Caution

• Toxic if ingested—keep away from pets and young children.

• Handle gently—white areas can bruise or brown easily if damaged.
