Philodendron ‘White Wizard’ — Rare White-Variegated Aroid

Philodendron ‘White Wizard’ — Rare White-Variegated Aroid

Philodendron ‘White Wizard’ is one of the most elegant and highly sought-after white-variegated philodendrons. It is a self-heading hybrid known for its broad, glossy green leaves adorned with pure white variegation, often appearing as clean swaths, streaks, or half-moon patterns. Unlike climbing varieties, White Wizard maintains a compact, upright growth habit, making it ideal for tabletops or floor displays where its sophisticated contrast can truly shine.

Growth Habit

• Type: Self-heading tropical aroid.

• Mature Size: Typically 18–36 inches tall indoors; can reach larger sizes in greenhouse conditions.

• Foliage: Broad, leathery leaves with bold white and deep green variegation.

• Growth Rate: Moderate, increasing with consistent humidity and bright light.

• Habit: Compact, upright growth without the need for a climbing support.

Care & Cultivation

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain crisp white variegation. Too little light may cause leaves to revert to green.

• Watering: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

• Soil: A chunky, well-draining aroid mix with perlite, bark, and coco coir is ideal.

• Temperature & Humidity: Thrives in 70–85°F and moderate to high humidity (60–80%). Benefits from a humidifier or greenhouse setup.

• Fertilization: Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer at half strength.

• Propagation: Typically propagated from stem cuttings or tissue culture to ensure stable variegation.
