About Philodendron 'Variegated Ring of Fire'

The rare and highly sought-after Philodendron 'Variegated Ring of Fire' is known for its dramatic, serrated leaves that display a mix of green, cream, and orange hues. This stunning plant is a favorite among collectors for its unique foliage and striking variegation. Although it requires a bit of attention, this Philodendron is relatively easy to care for and will thrive under the right conditions, rewarding plant parents with gorgeous growth.

Lighting

The Philodendron 'Variegated Ring of Fire' thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, its variegation will be more vibrant when provided with ample indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn its delicate, variegated leaves. A spot near an east or north-facing window is ideal.

Watering

Water your Philodendron 'Variegated Ring of Fire' when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. It enjoys consistently moist but not waterlogged soil. Make sure your pot has adequate drainage to prevent root rot, and avoid letting the plant sit in standing water. It prefers slightly more humidity, so misting or placing a humidity tray nearby can be beneficial.

Temperature and Humidity

The Philodendron 'Variegated Ring of Fire' prefers warm temperatures between 65°F and 80°F and enjoys moderate to high humidity. It will thrive in a naturally humid environment or with the help of a humidifier, especially in drier climates. Avoid placing it near cold drafts or heating vents to prevent stress on the plant.

Feeding

Feed your Philodendron 'Variegated Ring of Fire' with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing seasons (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during the fall and winter when its growth slows. Regular feeding will support healthy growth and help maintain the vibrant variegation of its stunning leaves.
