The Philodendron Rio (Philodendron hederaceum 'Rio') is a rare and stunning variegated variety of the popular Philodendron Brasil. Known for its elegant foliage, this plant features a striking silver and white center stripe running down the middle of its elongated, heart-shaped leaves, surrounded by shades of green. The Rio's leaves are longer and narrower than other hederaceum cultivors. Its unique variegation and easy-care nature make it a favorite among houseplant enthusiasts and collectors. Despite its exotic appearance, the Philodendron Rio is a hardy and low-maintenance plant, perfect for both beginners and experienced plant parents.
Plant Characteristics
- Foliage: The Philodendron Rio is celebrated for its heart-shaped leaves with a bright silver and white center stripe, which contrasts beautifully with the darker green edges. Unlike the Philodendron Brasil, which has yellow or lime-green variegation, the Rio’s variegation is more muted and elegant, giving it a sophisticated look.
- Growth Habit: This plant is a trailing or climbing vine, making it ideal for hanging baskets, shelves, or trellises. Its manageable growth habit allows it to thrive in a variety of indoor spaces.
- Origin: The Rio is an original sport (mutation) of the Philodendron Brasil that was discovered and cultivated by Gabriella Plants. It has maintained consistent variegation patterns for over a decade.
Care Instructions
The Philodendron Rio is an easy-to-care-for plant that thrives in typical indoor conditions. With the right care, it will reward you with lush, variegated foliage.- Light: Provide bright, indirect light to maintain the vibrant variegation. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, the variegation may fade in insufficient light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
- Watering: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has proper drainage. During the growing season (spring and summer), water more frequently, but reduce watering in the fall and winter.
- Humidity: This tropical plant thrives in moderate to high humidity levels, ideally around 50–70%. While it adapts well to average household humidity, misting or placing it near a humidifier can help it thrive.
- Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment, ideally between 65–85°F (18–29°C). Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 55°F (13°C) or cold drafts, as these can harm the plant.
- Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as one designed for aroids. A mix of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark works well to provide aeration and prevent waterlogging.
- Fertilizer: Feed your Philodendron Rio with a diluted liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows.
- Pruning: Trim back leggy growth to encourage bushier growth and maintain the plant’s shape. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to avoid damaging the plant.

Great puzzle, even better complimentary squeaky carrot
Color: Red, Color: Red
Our dog is a Jack Russell mix and needs near constant interaction. In the winter, it gets so cold that we can't always get him out for long enough periods of time to satisfy his poor bored little brain.
I've tried so many puzzles. He gets frustrated and bored quickly, and ends up just barking at them.
One game that he loves in winter though, is what we call "the blanket game" and it's when we hide one of his favorite toys in an old blanket, wrap it all up, and then let him loose to find the toy. He can play this game over and over, for over an hour if we have the energy. So, when I saw this ball, I knew I had to try it.
He loves it. He begs me to let him have it at least once a day and it gives him a good 5-10 minutes of play. He'd play it more if I let him have that many treats, haha.
But I had to say that, true to form, his REAL favorite part of the puzzle ball was the complimentary carrot toy that came with it.
He is obsessed with the carrot.
He carries it everywhere. It goes to bed with him. He never loses it, always knows exactly where Carrot is. He even knows the word "carrot" now, after only a week or so of having our dear, beloved Carrot.
I can ask him, "go get Carrot," and he brings it right to me.
It is the only toy he ever brings me now.
The squeaker is long dead, he killed it within the first couple days, but he still chews it relentlessly, listening for the little air puff sounds it makes now.
So anyway, the ball is great. Love it. But the carrot? Is an epic find. I included a picture so you can see how utterly filthy it is from how much he loves it (don't worry, it's going in the washer).
Thank you for this random carrot. It might be the best thing to happen to our weird little family this winter.

Basic Starter Puzzle, But Not Very Durab
Color: Red
This toy is more like a level 1 puzzle—it doesn’t take long at all for my 1-year-old, 5 lb Papillon to figure it out. The ball part is sturdy enough, but the cloth sections are very soft and not durable. I worry about him tearing into it and possibly swallowing threads, so I only let him play with it under close supervision.
If you just need a simple puzzle to introduce your dog to enrichment toys, this could work. But if you’re looking for something that lasts longer or provides more of a challenge, this isn’t it.
Pros:
• Works as a very basic starter puzzle
• Ball portion is fairly sturdy
• Good for quick enrichment sessions
Cons:
• Cloth material is soft and easy to damage
• Requires close supervision to prevent chewing or tearing
• Not challenging for dogs beyond beginner level
Overall, I’m giving it 3 stars. It does the job as an entry-level puzzle, but it’s not durable and doesn’t offer much mental stimulation.
UPDATE: The company reached out after my review and provided good customer service, which I really appreciated.

Surprisingly durable
Color: Yellow, Color: Yellow
*** UPDATE/EDIT: I bought this thing back in February 2024 and ten months later with nearly DAILY USE this bad boy is still going strong!! You can see in my video, filmed just now, that it's still in one piece and that despite the frequent play, she still LOVES it. It smells like rubber, which doesn't smell like roses to me... but all rubber toys are going to, and that's ok. I'm just so impressed with the durability. Really, really impressed.
Between interest, durability and value, I say if you are looking for this kind of toy you should get it if your dog is an appropriate size. Ten months of daily, hard use of throwing, fetch, chewing, travel, overnights in the elements, you name it. There's no reason not to. It's the perfect chew toy IMHO. ***
ORIGINAL REVIEW SEPTEMBER 2024: My Goldendoodle is great about destroying every chew toy I give her. She doesn't ruin shoes, she doesn't counter surf (ok she does, she just doesn't take anything) and she has learned to leave the scrunchies and socks where she finds them. Even the remote is safe. (She'll hide it, but it's not destroyed.) So the chew toys get completely mangled because they get her full attention. This toy? It has survived the worst of her chewing attention. Being a cardiac service dog, she goes everywhere with me, including trips, and this toy always gets packed. It's great to throw because it has a "handle" and chucks really well. She carries it easily, like a pacifier lol. And it somehow has survived. It's a bit of a challenge to get treats inside, so if your goal is to stuff it frequently, this might not be the right toy. But it's possible. As for durability, this has been in the top two or three for my girl. Worth the money. Keeps her entertained, which is important, lol...

Durable toy, keeps them busy
Color: Red
our trainer said our dogs needed cognitive toys and lick toys to help them calm down. I had doubts about this toy. I was pleasantly surprised when it kept them entertained off and on throughout the day. One would take a break and the other would start batting it around and licking at it. I squished some soft treats into the stem section, crunch treats of various size into the top hole (a couple freeze dried chunks of chicken that I know wouldn't come out easily), and mashed some squishy sweet potato treats into the side holes of the top. While it did take a bit of time to prep with all the different types of treats, it really kept them entertained for a long time. They are 40 pounds and decent chewers and haven't bitten off any rubber bits. Very durable.

Favorite toy of all time
Color: Red
I have had my dog for 12 years and this is truly the BEST toy I’ve ever bought her (and I’ve bought probably hundreds). I squish the soft-style treats into the holes and it keeps her occupied for a good chunk of time. She loves it. I usually do it multiple times a day with a few different types of treats. She is an extremely aggressive chewer and has never damaged this toy. Now that she’s older I’m especially appreciate of this toy because it keeps her brain active and gives her something to do when she’s not feeling up to a walk.
