{"product_id":"philodendron-painted-lady","title":"Philodendron Painted Lady","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhilodendron ‘Painted Lady’ is a hybrid of ‘Burgundy’ and ‘Emerald Queen’ known for its vibrant lime‑green leaves splashed with yellow and pinkish stems. As the leaves mature they deepen to a rich green, retaining their yellow flecks. This slow‑growing philodendron can climb if given support or stay compact as a bushy shrub, eventually reaching about 5 ft. tall with a 12–18 in. spread. A natural air purifier, it filters indoor air pollutants while adding a pop of color to modern and vintage décor. Like all philodendrons it contains calcium oxalate and is toxic if ingested, so keep it away from pets and children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy Choose ‘Painted Lady’\u003cbr\u003e• Vibrant variegation: Bright chartreuse leaves with yellow splashes and pink petioles become darker green with age.\u003cbr\u003e• Air‑purifying \u0026amp; low‑maintenance: Filters indoor air pollutants and thrives with minimal fuss.\u003cbr\u003e• Manageable growth: Slow to moderate grower that can climb or remain bushy; ideal for small spaces.\u003cbr\u003e• Unique hybrid: A cross of Philodendron ‘Burgundy’ and ‘Emerald Queen,’ bred in Florida in the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant Specifications\u003cbr\u003e• Light: Prefers several hours of bright, indirect light; tolerates lower light but growth and variegation will diminish.
