Philodendron squamicaule 'Blushing' is a rare and visually striking tropical climber, prized for its unique stems and vibrant foliage. The most distinctive feature of this philodendron is its scaly, textured stems (the name squamicaule means "scale stem"), which develop a reddish or coppery hue as the plant matures—hence the "Blushing" moniker. The leaves are elongated, slightly glossy, and emerge with a reddish tint before maturing to deep green. As a climbing hemiepiphyte, it thrives when given a moss pole or rough surface to anchor its aerial roots, showcasing its wild, jungle-like growth habit.

Care Tips:

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light—some morning sun can enhance the blushing tones, but avoid harsh afternoon rays.

  • Water: Keep soil moderately moist but well-drained. Allow the top inch to dry before watering again.

  • Humidity: Best in 60%+ humidity; consider a humidifier or pebble tray for optimal growth.

  • Soil: Use a chunky, airy mix (orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir) to prevent waterlogging.

  • Temperature: Ideal range is 65–85°F (18–29°C)—protect from cold drafts.

  • Fertilizer: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly in spring/summer; reduce in winter.

Note: Toxic if ingested—keep away from pets and children.
