Philodendron Bipennifolium Variegata – Rare Variegated Horse Head Philodendron

Also known as the Horse Head Philodendron, the Philodendron Bipennifolium Variegata is a rare and highly sought-after plant prized for its distinctively shaped leaves and striking variegation. The variegation evolves beautifully from light green and lime green to a mature blend of dark green and yellow hues, making each leaf unique as the plant grows. This plant is a must-have for collectors looking to add an extraordinary specimen to their collection.

Unique Variegation and Leaf Structure

  • Eye-Catching Variegation: The leaves of the Philodendron Bipennifolium Variegata feature a remarkable range of colours that shift as the plant matures, from vibrant light greens and yellows to deeper, more mature hues of dark green and yellow. The variegation pattern adds dynamic beauty to this already unusual species.
  • Distinct Leaf Shape: Known for its "horse head" leaf structure, the leaves are deeply lobed and elongated, giving it a unique silhouette that stands out among other Philodendrons.

Care Instructions for Philodendron Bipennifolium Variegata

This rare plant follows standard Philodendron care with a few specific considerations:

  • Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal for maintaining the plant’s variegation. Too little light may cause highly variegated leaves to brown, while direct sunlight can scorch the leaves.
  • Watering: Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Be cautious of overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
  • Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity, around 60% or more, but can adapt to normal indoor humidity levels with proper care.
  • Leaf Variegation: Leaves that lack green will eventually brown and drop off. However, the current plants for sale all feature healthy leaves with some green variegation, ensuring stability and longevity in your collection.

Shipping

This plant will be sent in its plastic growing pot along with the hydroponic medium it is growing in.

We only ship plants on Mondays. Please order before 2pm on Sunday to ensure your plant will be sent the following Monday. Orders placed after this time may not be shipped until the following week.

We only ship plants to non-quarantine states (sorry WA, TAS and NT residents). Shipping of plants is capped at $18.00 per order. This includes the packing materials and labour times. We use recycled packing where possible to reduce our waste and keep cost down, but we ensure that all packing material is sturdy enough to resist damage during transit.

If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We will not request signature on delivery, as parcels sent back to the post office may not get picked up for days, therefore increasing the amount of stress placed on the plant(s) inside.

This plant can also be picked up from the Northern Wellbeing Centre; 113C miller st, Epping VIC. If you select this option at check-out, we will email you to organise a pick-up time.

CURRENT GROWING CONDITIONS

This plant has been propagated and grown in hydroponics medium. All of our hydroponics plants are potted up in leca, perlite, or MAB grow, and left sitting in 1 - 2 cm of nutrient solution at all times. Our nutrient solution is made up of Growth Technology Foliage Focus or Complete Focus diluted to 5 ml per litre of water.

Before being sent to you, this plant was growing in our climate controlled grow room. Temperatures sit abouve 20 C at all times, and relative humidity does not drop below 60%.

SUGGESTED CARE ON ARRIVAL

This plant will arrive in its pot along with the hydroponic medium it is currently growing in. If you would ike to continue growing this plant as we have, in a hydroponic medium, then all you need to do it sit it in a shallow container of nutrient water.

In general, we find that plants transition from hydroponics mediums to soil without any issues. However, if you want to transition the plant into soil with extra caution, then you can keep it in the medium it arrived in for a few days. This will allow your plant to acclimate to your environment before transitioning to a new medium. You will need to sit the pot in 1 - 2 cm of water to prevent the roots from drying out. Long term the plant will need nutriets added to the water, but if you only plan to grow it this way for a week or so then it'll be fine without the addition of nutrients.

When ready, you can pot the plant up in a well-draining soil mix. 50% premium potting mix and 50% perlite works well, but adding .extra amendments such as orchid bark for extra drainage can help in creating an optimum soil mix. These extra amendments should especailly be used for anthuriums, which require extra drainage. If you require more specific information about soil mix, please contact us.
