Philodendron 'Strawberry Shake' – Vibrant Variegated Climber
Philodendron 'Strawberry Shake', also known as Philodendron 'Red Emerald' Variegata, is a rare and highly sought-after cultivar of Philodendron erubescens. Its striking, multicolored foliage displays a captivating mix of green, cream, yellow, and pink hues, making it a true collector's plant. This fast-growing climber thrives when provided with proper support, such as a moss pole, encouraging larger and more dramatic leaves.
Key Features of Philodendron 'Strawberry Shake'
- Variegated Foliage: Each leaf showcases a unique combination of colors, ranging from green to shades of pink, red, and yellow.
- Climbing Growth: Develops aerial roots that help it climb, making it ideal for moss poles or trellises.
- Dynamic Color Changes: Variegation evolves with age, with new leaves often emerging in shades of red or orange before maturing.
- Rare and Collectible: Highly sought after among plant collectors due to its stunning color variation.
Essential Information About Philodendron 'Strawberry Shake'
- Native Habitat: A cultivated variety derived from Philodendron erubescens, originally from Central and South America.
- Indoor Growth Potential: Can reach up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) when given proper support.
- Growth Rate: Moderate to fast-growing under ideal conditions.
- Toxicity: Contains calcium oxalate crystals, making it toxic if ingested by pets or humans.
How to Care for Philodendron 'Strawberry Shake'
- Lighting Needs: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain strong variegation. Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure.
- Watering Schedule: Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry before rewatering. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
- Humidity Preferences: Thrives in high humidity (60%+). Using a humidifier or grouping with other plants can enhance growth.
- Temperature Range: Best kept between 18-27°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
- Soil Composition: Requires a well-draining mix with peat, perlite, and orchid bark for aeration.
- Repotting and Support: Repot every 1-2 years. Provide a moss pole to encourage mature leaf formation.
- Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during active growth.
- Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Cut below a node and root in water or sphagnum moss.
- Pruning and Maintenance: Remove leggy or damaged leaves to encourage bushier growth.
- Hydroponic Growth: Can adapt to semi-hydroponic setups like LECA if properly acclimated.
Common Issues and Solutions
- Pest Management: Susceptible to spider mites, thrips, and mealybugs. Regularly inspect and treat with neem oil if needed.
- Overwatering Risks: Yellowing leaves often indicate excess moisture – ensure well-draining soil and proper airflow.
- Variegation Fading: If new leaves emerge with less variegation, increase light exposure while avoiding direct sun.
Additional Growing Tips
Understanding the natural habitat of Philodendron 'Strawberry Shake' helps ensure proper care. While it is a cultivated hybrid, its parent species thrives in tropical rainforests, climbing tree trunks in humid conditions. By providing indirect light, warmth, and consistent moisture, you can replicate these conditions indoors for optimal growth.

Wow!!!
Size: 80 ea
XyliMelts were recommended by my new dental hygienist who said she was told about them at a dental conference by a well known hygienist "guru".
I ordered them at around four in the morning because I was up as usual because if my chronic pain syndrome and the dry mouth caused by my pain pills.
I got them quickly via Amazon and have not been up again this time of night due to the dry mouth. Now I'm up due to the pain but can fall asleep quickly because of the XyliMelts, they work great!
I only use one at a time and it lasts around four hours and I put in another one and go right back to sleep. It's so easy to push the little tab out of the cellophane and just hold it on my gum for ten seconds and voila! No more dry mouth. I used to wake up with my mouth so dry there was no saliva at all in my mouth and parched was an understatement, my mouth felt like sandpaper!
Now it's always nice and moist and the taste is extremely pleasant (I didn't get the mint). I had to have two teeth extracted four days before Christmas and my dentist said it was due to the dry mouth and that he sees patterns like this in patients with dry mouth and I'd probably lose more teeth unless I came in for cleanings and check ups three times a year instead of two and we kept a really close eye on my teeth.
I'd been using Biotene gel but it wasn't keeping my mouth moist long enough. I'm extremely happy with XyliMelt! I'm also 100% sure I won't be losing any more teeth due to my night time dry mouth because it's a thing of the past!
Thanks to amazon prime shipping I got my XyliMelts very quickly, and my nighttime dry mouth is a thing of the past!
I know they don't claim to stop cavities but without the dry mouth and my new commitment to see my dentist three times a year and to always always brush my teeth before I fall asleep (no more Rolos in bed after I've done my final teeth brushing), I'm confident my dentist won't see a tooth loss pattern in my mouth.

I feel saw to use at night, sticks to my mouth wherever I place it. I have never had it slip out of my mouth at night and choke me. My dentist recommended them.

Xylimelts work...very very well..finally moisture to my mouth for longer than anything i have tried
Size: 80 ea
i have xerostomia...this is a dry mouth due to radiation treatments...I have minimum saliva. I must sip water or a liquid with every bite of food.
When i talk my mouth quickly dries and makes it difficult to speak......I have tried many....many different sprays, gels, etc. etc. Along came Xylimelts and it has been the best thing for me to date. It does add some moisture to my mouth and the great part is that it lasts for a very long time. I use the mint free only because my dry mouth is more sensitive to certain tastes. I once used Biotene and now i stay away from all of their products.....Biotene was around a while and marketed their product and had become very popular....Glaxo Smith Kline ( the big drug company that only cares about their profits over our health) purchased Biotene and had altered the product for the worse and they have done this with other products. They actually removed beneficial ingredients and replaced them with poor ingredients....Here is just one example: Xylitol was in one of their products ( Biotene toothpaste) when they purchased the company from Biotene. Xylitol has beneficial qualities and they replaced it with the Cancer in Laboratory rats ingredient called Sacharin... They have removed other ingredients as well...I stay away from any product from Glaxo Smith Kline. I have my own personal boycott and that means I no longer buy their Tums as well... Yes...They played their games with Tums also.....so i just do not buy their products.
Xylimelts does work for me...very very well. It adheres to the gums above my teeth and it just stays there adds moisture to my mouth. Obviously i recommend this product

I'd rate them 5 stars if only I'd had them to use over the last two decades!
Size: 80 ea
A couple of years ago my dentist and hygienist told me about Xylimelts, which I promptly ordered and appreciated as soon as I used them. After suffering teeth problems due to meds for years, it's too late for me to save my uppers -- dry mouth had decayed my teeth, even with plenty of hydration, good dental hygiene and wonderful dental care (when I didn't put it off a few times, sigh...), and I’m about to get dentures :( .
I started out putting two in my mouth at night, but that seemed to be a bit much -- they'd cause me to drool and stain my pillow (washed right out!) Mostly out of concern for the cost of Xylimelts, I began putting only one in my mouth at bedtime. This has worked well for the most part, though some nights I still wake up with a dry mouth, and sometimes put in another one. This could be due to allergies though, my nose is often stuffy as I sleep. However, two would probably prevent this from happening.
I tried the non-mint kind first, then accidentally ordered the mint kind once, but I prefer the non-mint flavor. It’s got no real taste, and that suits me fine. By the way, it does take 10 seconds to adhere them, but if you are not comfortable with that spot, you can move them to a better one without them losing their “stick” to the outside of your teeth or gums.
