**Scientific Name** Philodendron erubescens (blushing tree-hugger) var. 'Painted Lady' **Common Name** Painted Lady Philodendron **Origin** Tropical areas of South/Central America **Description** A hybrid philodendron, created by plant breeder Robert H. McColley in the 90's, the 'painted' leaves on this philodendron are a beautiful mix of the two parent plants Philodendrons: P. Erubescens and P. Erubescens 'Emerald Queen'. An ideal plant if your plant collection is looking too green and you want to add some bright interest! **Light** Place in moderate to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as this can scorch the leaves. **Water** Allow the top two inches of soil to dry out in between waterings (these plants are easy-going so if you wait a little longer to water don't panic!). Ensure good drainage and don't allow to sit in water. **Humidity** Appreciates above average humidity, but will do just fine in most standard household humidity. Will appreciate an occasional misting, esp
