Know before you buy
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Placing it near a window with filtered sunlight will help maintain the vibrant pink, orange, and cream variegation on its leaves.
No, this plant is not pet-safe. Like many other Philodendron species, it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can be toxic if ingested by cats or dogs.
The 'Strawberry Shake' is considered a fast-growing vining plant. With proper care and adequate light, you can expect it to produce new leaves regularly throughout the growing season.
Because it has a vining growth habit, it will benefit from a moss pole or trellis as it matures. Providing support encourages larger leaf development and keeps the plant tidy as it climbs.
Variegation on this cultivar is naturally unpredictable. While the plant is bred for its colorful patterns, each leaf may display a unique mix of green, cream, pink, and orange, and some leaves may occasionally emerge with less variegation than others.
