Plant Description
Description
Philodendron ‘Ring of Fire’, commonly known as the Ring of Fire Philodendron, is a striking variegated houseplant with deeply serrated leaves that can display shades of green, cream, yellow, orange and red. New leaves often emerge in warm orange or copper tones before gradually changing colour as they mature, making every stage of growth different.
PLANT CARE
Everything you need to know to keep your plant happy and thriving.
LIGHT
Bright Light
WATER
Moderate watering. Allow the top few centimetres of compost to dry between waterings, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Reduce watering during winter when growth naturally slows.
SOIL
Free-draining aroid mix containing houseplant compost, orchid bark and perlite. The mixture should retain some moisture while allowing plenty of airflow around the roots.
REPOT
Repot every 1–2 years in spring or when noticeably rootbound. Move up only one pot size at a time and always use a container with adequate drainage.
HUMIDITY
High
DIFFICULTY
Medium
AIR PURIFYING
Yes
JOE'S TOP TIP
Give your Ring of Fire plenty of bright, indirect light to encourage strong variegation and colourful new growth. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the cream and yellow areas of the leaves.
COMMON MISTAKE
Keeping it somewhere too dark. Ring of Fire needs good light levels to maintain its colourful variegation. Low light can result in greener foliage, slower growth and longer gaps between new leaves.
WHEN TO COME BACK TO US

PLANT FACT
The name ‘Ring of Fire’ comes from the changing colours of its foliage. New leaves can emerge in fiery shades of orange, red or copper before gradually developing yellow, cream and green tones as they mature.
