Philodendron erubescens 'White Knight' has oval, glossy leaves and is very similar to 'Pink Princess', but with white rather than pink variegation. Philodendron erubescens are climbers by nature, so be sure to give it a trellis or pole to climb on. As it grows, gently secure the vine to the support structure. The leaves will expand when grown vertically.

The variegation will differ from one leaf to another. One leaf may emerge with little or no variegation and the next leaf may emerge with little or no green. All this is part of the charm of this houseplant, but be aware that good light will encourage the development of variegation. The green and white color combination is necessary for your 'White Knight' to thrive. The green parts are essential for photosynthesis. So if too many leaves start to turn white, your plant will have difficulty feeding and may die. On the other hand, if you have too much green, you lose what makes your plant a 'White Knight'. If you notice new leaves growing pure white, prune the stems just above the node (the place where your new variegated leaves will grow). Ideally, you try to keep one last leaf on the stem with balanced variegation.
