5 Fave Philodendrons - Teak And Terracotta

Introduction

We get asked a lot about Philodendrons, as they have become really popular recently. Some of them go for a lot of money now as the demand has increased, here we’ll feature some of the more reasonably priced ones alongside some of the rarer plants.

Philodendron Brasil

We’ll start with an absolute charmer, the brasil, with its yellowy green variegation, and one that is really easy to care for and cheap too. It is a great way to get started with philodendrons. For more on this plant see our guide to Philodendron Brasil Care.

Philodendron Birkin

Another variegated philodendron that is both easy to look after and cheap. The big dark leaves with thin white stripes really set it apart in your home.

Philodendron Xanadu

The striking and dramatically shaped leaves on this make it a great architectural feature of any room. They grow in a similar way to monsteras, but have very distinct leaf shapes so are a great alternative. For more on this plant see our guide Philodendron Xanadu Care.

Philodendron Micans

The micans is an easy way to get those beautiful velvety philodendron leaves, it is similar to the more expensive gloriosum, but much less money!

Philodendron Pink Princess

This is the money shot! The holy grail! The pink variegations on this plant have made it a much in-demand plant. It is one of my all time favorites and it goes for well over 100 Euros (or 120 US dollars) for small ones and upwards for bigger plants with more pink variegation.
