Philodendron Golden Dragon ‘Lime Fiddle’ – Unique Variegation & Distinctive Leaf Shape

The Philodendron Golden Dragon is a fast-growing climbing variety known for its mottled variegation, which has been given various names over time. We prefer the name ‘Lime Fiddle’ for its vibrant lime-green speckling.

This plant thrives in well-draining soil with bright, indirect light but is adaptable enough to tolerate lower light conditions. As it matures, its leaf shape changes dramatically—starting off compact and rounded before elongating into a distinctive key-like form. Fully developed leaves can reach over half a meter in length, making it an impressive addition to any collection.

What to Expect

The exact plant depicted in the image is the one you will receive. We’ve found that the ‘Lime Fiddle’ variegation is not consistent and may come and go. These plants were propagated from our Lime Fiddle mother plant, which originated from a tissue culture batch produced approximately three years ago.

Care Requirements

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates lower light levels.
• Soil: Requires a well-draining mix to support healthy root development.
• Watering: Keep soil lightly moist, allowing the top layer to dry between waterings.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity but adapts well to standard indoor conditions.

Shipping

This plant will be sent in its plastic growing pot

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 MIGHT not be shipped untill the following week.

We only ship plants to non-quarantine states (sorry 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.
