Philodendron 'Painted Lady'

Philodendron 'Painted Lady' is a climbing variegated Philodendron with bright juvenile colour, red-toned stems and a steady upward habit. New leaves usually open in yellow-green to lime shades with darker green flecking, then deepen as they mature while keeping a mottled two-green pattern. The contrast between the warm petioles and fresh leaf colour is especially clear on fresh growth before the leaves settle into deeper green tones.

This cultivar benefits from support as the stem lengthens. Aerial roots form at the nodes, and the leaves sit more neatly when the plant is trained on a moss pole, plank or trellis. In a pot without support, older stems may lean or trail, but the natural growth direction is upward.

Mottled new growth and red petioles

  • Stem habit: A lengthening climbing stem with visible nodes and aerial roots.
  • Leaf colour: Yellow-green new growth marked with darker green mottling.
  • Petioles: Pink to red stems and leaf stalks that stay visually important even as older leaves darken.
  • Training: A support helps the plant hold larger, better-spaced leaves indoors.

McColley breeding background and mature plant shape

Philodendron 'Painted Lady' comes from Robert H. McColley’s Orlando, Florida breeding work. Its breeding background is recorded in USPP3958, published on 19 October 1976, with the cross Philodendron 'Burgundy' × Philodendron 'Emerald Queen'. The patent describes yellow-green mottled new leaves, mature two-green foliage, bright red stems and petioles, climbing growth and a need for staking as the plant develops.

The cultivar brings together red stem colour, climbing behaviour and mottled green-yellow foliage. The colour balance can vary between plants and between leaves on the same stem, so a healthy specimen may show brighter juvenile growth followed by calmer mature leaves.

The climbing habit matters for indoor care. Leaves are held on petioles from a central stem, and each node can produce aerial roots when humidity, contact and support are available. Support gives the stem a clear direction and helps new leaves expand without the plant becoming stretched or unstable in the pot.

Care for supported Painted Lady growth

  • Light: Give bright, indirect light with protection from harsh midday sun. Pale leaf tissue can scorch quickly, while very dim conditions usually lead to smaller leaves and longer internodes.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly once the upper part of the substrate has dried. The roots need moisture followed by oxygen, so the pot should never stay constantly wet.
  • Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with bark, coarse fibre, perlite or pumice and a moisture-retentive base. Dense potting soil can hold too much water around the roots.
  • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually tolerated, but steadier humidity helps new leaves unfurl cleanly. A humidifier, grouped plants or a vitrine can help in very dry conditions.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally around 18–27°C. Cold, wet substrate is the main risk during cooler months.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser. Pale new leaves are normal for this cultivar, so do not treat every yellow-green leaf as a deficiency.
  • Pruning and support: Add a pole early if you want a vertical plant. Prune stretched stems above a node to shorten the vine and root cuttings when the plant is actively growing.

Problems to check on Philodendron 'Painted Lady'

  • Soft yellowing leaves: Check root moisture first. A heavy substrate, oversized pot or frequent watering can reduce oxygen around the roots.
  • Crisp pale patches: Move the plant away from direct sun or intense grow lights. Pale tissue marks more quickly than darker green tissue.
  • Small leaves and long gaps between nodes: Increase light gradually and give the stem support so the plant can climb instead of stretching sideways.
  • Stuck new leaves: Check humidity and airflow. Consistently dry air can make the cataphyll cling around new growth.
  • Distorted fresh growth: Inspect petioles, cataphylls and leaf backs for thrips, spider mites, mealybugs or scale.

Handling and pet safety

Philodendron 'Painted Lady' should be kept away from pets and small children. Like other Philodendron, it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat and digestive tract if chewed or swallowed. Sap may also irritate sensitive skin, so wash your hands after pruning or taking cuttings.

Name and McColley cultivar context

Philodendron belongs to the Araceae family. The genus name comes from Greek roots meaning “loving trees”, a reference to the climbing habit seen in many species. The cultivar name 'Painted Lady' refers to the mottled, brushed-looking colour pattern across the leaves.

Philodendron 'Painted Lady' combines red petioles, mottled yellow-green new growth and a documented McColley hybrid background.

I love this book! Helped me with the kids, my parents and my boyfriend.
I bought this book in preparation for becoming a stepmother. Knowing the kids involved had experience some difficulties in their relationship with their biological mother I wanted to make sure I could bring something positive to the table. We have already utilize some of the lessons in this book to ensure that the kids are happy and healthy in the decisions that by boyfriend was making with them on his own. We have also used information provided in this book to help his ex-wife better understand what the right decisions for the kids are to best meet their needs. I have actually sent multiple copies of this book to family members who I feel would benefit from its information. I frequently talk about the love languages of children as it relates to friends family and romantic relationships as well as co-worker or boss employee relationships. I think at this point everyone I know is sick of hearing about this book. I purchased the love languages of teenagers book to prepare for the next stage in the kids lives. I also plan to purchase the love languages for couples book so that my boyfriend and I can learn to communicate even better since we got some helpful information out of this book unexpectedly. I highly recommend reading this book. As a child who did not feel loved by her parents I think it would be important for every parent to read this and have an understanding of the different needs that each child has so that they can show the love that they have in a way that their child can understand.

Favorite treat of all time for our Maltese pup.
Pattern Name: Lollipop, Size: 0.53 Ounce (Pack of 4)
These are my Maltese dog’s favorite treat. I don’t know if it is the whole combination of shape, taster, tendon location, or that they are from a Turkey, but they are an absolute winner when we have them. Since they are quite expensive, we only get them on occasion. If they were less expensive, even by 10%, I would justify regular purchases of them to myself. I highly recommend them for any size, breed, or reason. They are an exceptionally wonderful treat for my pup. I think I have just found the reason for ordering another order of these Turkey Tendon lollipops for my best friend. Especially since he eats them quite quickly, even though he is only four pounds. And they seem to be quite digestible.

Perfect treat for my Dolcé!
Pattern Name: Bone, Size: 0.53 Ounce (Pack of 4)
My 14 pound Maltipoo LOVES these. It keeps her occupied for a good 30 minutes. Be sure to get the bone-shaped ones because little dogs will choke on the lollipop-shaped ones.

Good value

This is a new treat for our sweet girl and she loves it! She’s a small dog so I break them in two and it’s just enough.
