Philodendron Yellow Flame Variegated

Philodendron ‘Yellow Flame’ — Rare Variegated Hybrid

Philodendron ‘Yellow Flame’ is a breathtaking tropical hybrid admired for its bold, golden-yellow variegation that appears to glow against rich red and green tones. New leaves unfurl in shades of fiery bronze and copper, maturing into a vivid blend of chartreuse, emerald, and buttery yellow. The contrast between its variegated foliage and bright red petioles gives the plant a warm, flame-like appearance — making it one of the most striking philodendrons available to collectors today.

Care & Cultivation
