Latin name: Philodendron ‘Ring of Fire’
Common name: Ring of Fire Philodendron 🍃
A climbing aroid from tropical South American lineage, loved for jagged, deeply serrated leaves variegated in cream, lime, yellow, and warm orange. Given support, it forms a sculptural, vertical accent with ever-changing color as each leaf matures.
FLOWER DETAILS
Classic aroid inflorescences: a pale to greenish spathe surrounding a creamy spadix. Indoors the bloom is occasional and subtle; interest is primarily foliage-driven, with a calm, botanical presence rather than a showy display. 🌸
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; brief gentle morning sun is fine. More light = better color, but avoid harsh midday rays.
💧 Water: Let ~40–60% of the mix dry, then water thoroughly; never leave standing water. Reduce slightly in winter.
🌡️ Humidity: Prefers 55–70%+; tolerates average homes but looks best with added humidity.
🪴 Soil: Chunky, fast-draining aroid mix (orchid bark + perlite/pumice + coco/peat + a touch of charcoal).
🏺 Potting: Use a pot with excellent drainage and provide a moss pole/trellis; prune to shape. Repot every 12–18 months or when roots circle.
🌱 Growth rate: ~10–20 cm (4–8 in) of vine extension per 6 months in bright conditions with support.
🐾 Pet friendly: No — like most philodendrons, contains insoluble calcium oxalates.
