About Philodendron camposportoanum 'Aurea'

Philodendron camposportoanum 'Aurea' takes the species' distinctive heteroblastic leaf — glossy, deeply three-lobed, with a pale central stripe — and marbles it with irregular chartreuse-gold sectoring over the usual deep green rather than replacing the colour outright. It sits alongside the more established 'Variegated' cream-marbled form already catalogued, offering a gold-toned sectoral break rather than a white one. Growth follows the same compact climbing habit as the species, and colour intensity is strongly light-dependent, with plants grown in lower light settling into a duller, greener balance rather than a vivid gold.

Market Trend?Recent 4-week median vs. the prior 4 weeks. A rise only counts as 'Rising' when it's corroborated across the sample (not just one high sale) and confidence is decent — otherwise it's labelled a 'Spike'. Declines aren't treated as bad news: they're the expected trend as stock gets propagated.
Not enough history to calculate a trend

How prices are calculated: The AA Price uses online sold listings converted to GBP at current exchange rates, excluding extreme outliers to ensure a fair-value guide. Falls back to UK retail average when auction data is unavailable.
