Philodendron White Knight – UNSTC

Common Name:Philodendron White Knight

Philodendron White Knight is a highly-coveted specimen in the rare house plant community. This Philodendron plant originates from humid, tropical environments in South America and has surged in popularity over the last few years making it both an investment and difficult find. Philodendron plants are typically very adaptable, but emulating this plant’s natural environment is key for success. Philodendron White Knight should be provided with an airy growing medium that drains well, bright-indirect lighting and increased humidity levels. Slow-release fertilizers can be added to your care regime once the plant establishes a strong root system. If care conditions aren’t met, the plant has the potential to revert and will show signs of stress that include stunted growth, browning edges and overall poor health.

Propagation can be done via cuttings as long as the plant has a viable node or growth point. Humidity can be increased through the use of a humidifier, pebble tray or also by placing the plant in an enclosed container that is opened periodically for fresh air flow.
