Philodendron Ring of Fire – 6cm

Philodendron ‘Ring of Fire’, also known as the Tiger Tooth plant, is a long, deeply serrated leaves are unlike most other members of the genus, with jagged, irregular margins that give the plant a distinctly tropical, almost wild appearance. The variegation cycles through a remarkable range of tones as new leaves emerge: shades of cream, yellow, orange, and red shift toward green as each leaf matures, so at any given time the plant carries several different colours at once.

Origins
Philodendron ‘Ring of Fire’ is a horticultural hybrid, believed to have been developed from a cross between Philodendron wendlandii and Philodendron tortum, and was originally known in the trade as ‘Henderson’s Pride’. Its parent species are native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America.

Soil and Substrate
Philodendron ‘Ring of Fire’ needs a loose, airy substrate with excellent drainage. The variegated sections of the leaves produce less chlorophyll than the green tissue, which means the plant benefits from brighter conditions and a well-nourished root environment to compensate. Our Monstera and Philodendron Premium Potting Mix is peat-free, hand-blended in Yorkshire, and formulated for exactly this type of climbing Philodendron: open structure, good moisture retention, and worm castings for steady, natural nutrition.
