The Philodendron 'Caramel Marble' is a rare and highly sought-after aroid that plant collectors dream of getting their hands on. A naturally occurring sport or hybrid from the Araceae family, its exact origin is debated, but it’s believed to be related to Philodendron erubescens and prized for its dramatic, multicolored foliage. New growth emerges in shades of creamy peach, caramel, and blush pink, maturing into deeper greens marbled with bronze, gold, and copper tones — hence the name "Caramel Marble."
To keep your Caramel Marble thriving and colorful, light is key. This plant does best in bright, indirect light — too little light and the vibrant marbling may fade, while direct sun can scorch the delicate leaves. An east- or north-facing window works well, or filter stronger light through a sheer curtain. Rotate the plant regularly to encourage even growth and color distribution on all sides.
For care, keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy, using a chunky, well-draining mix (like one with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir). Let the top 1–2 inches dry out between waterings. High humidity (60% or more) will enhance color vibrancy and help prevent crisping on the edges. Fertilize monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Avoid frequent repotting — this philodendron prefers to be a bit root-bound. With the right setup, your Caramel Marble will remain a living work of art in your home.

from 449 reviewsPacked to arrive in perfect condition. The plant is so full and healthy. Will definitely purchase from you again!!!
I was surprised with a text from Mel, letting me know my options for selecting my first plant and asking my input about what plant I wanted. I was able to text back what I thought and just a couple days later, a beautiful black velvet Alocasia arrived, thoughtfully wrapped, all snug with a warming pouch. What a fun idea and well executed. I certainly look forward to next month! Thanks for being so informative, as well.
I purchased two varieties of synonyms from the shop. They arrived well-packed and literally not one blemish! It was shocking in the best way. Highly recommend this shop!
I am not one to respond to many emails or surveys but this book resonated with me in a special way today.
Long story short we have been thru a lot of trauma in the last 5 years. Loss in a hurricane, cancer and other surgeries between my husband and I.
A little personal, but relevant, we got in a tiff today because of how many plants I have acquired. I needed his help because I had surgery on Weds. Admittedly I have spent a lot on plants in the last 2 years but your book rang so true for me when you explained how plants support is by creating a calming environment. That whole paragraph spoke volumes to me as to why they are so important to me and my healing journey. Yes I most likely need to slow down in my purchases but even when it’s a chore to water and care for them by the time I am finished there is so much joy and accomplishment. Thank you for helping me make that connection. It helped me in a moment when I needed that clarity and how they impact my every day life.
This book is very well written and the illustration is stunning. I can’t wait to get the next volume! So much appreciated. Thank you
