Notes
Blotched philodendron (Philodendron mamei) is a houseplant for containers and low maintenance spaces. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It is evergreen and reaches about 35 to 47 inches tall. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Zebra plant, Chinese money plant, and Cebu Blue pothos.
