An evergreen perennial vine and variegated cultivar of Philodendron domesticum; a climbing species, native to Puerto Rico, where it grows against the trunks of trees in partially shaded, humid, tropical forests. This cultivar produces green and bright white, variegated, elongated, heart-shaped leaves, while the stems are deep red. Leaves on mature plants can be over 50cm long and 23cm wide. Plants can reach 1.5m high in cultivation. given the support of a moss pole on which to climb. Flowers rarely occur when grown indoors, but given ideal conditions, mature plants can produce a flower consisting of a sheath-like spathe, which is cream on the inside with a red base, and pale green on the outside. This surrounds a white spadix or column. Plants should be given partially shaded conditions, as hot, direct sun, can scorch the foliage
