Its parent, Philodendron erubescens, is a robust climbing aroid from the rainforests of Colombia, known as the blushing philodendron for the red flush on its stems and leaf backs. 'Strawberry Shake' keeps that tropical constitution and adds the unstable colour breaks that collectors prize, which is why well marked plants remain \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rare-and-unusual\"\u003esought after and seldom seen\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it bright indirect light, which keeps the variegation strong without scorching the cream and pink sections. Water once the top few centimetres of compost have dried, then let the excess drain away, as the roots resent sitting wet. It appreciates humidity of around 50 to 60 percent, so a brighter kitchen or a spot away from radiators suits it well. Keep it warm, ideally above 15C all year, and give it a moss pole to climb. Every part of the plant contains calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic if eaten, so keep it away from pets and children.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GrowTropicals","offers":[{"title":"14cm","offer_id":58234006077823,"sku":"PHILSTRASHAK14","price":69.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0361\/9645\/0348\/files\/strawberryshake.jpg?v=1787318686","url":"https:\/\/growtropicals.com\/products\/philodendron-strawberry-shake","provider":"GrowTropicals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
