About

Philodendron 'White Knight' is an exceptionally striking climbing cultivar highly coveted for its bold variegation. The glossy, heart-shaped (cordate to ovate) leaves showcase dramatic sectorial patterns of pure white, cream, and deep green, with high-contrast half-moon variations frequently appearing on healthy leaves. A key feature distinguishing 'White Knight' from similar cultivars like 'White Wizard' is its stems and petioles, which are a deep purple-burgundy variegated with white stripes. It has a climbing habit and produces aerial roots at the nodes to scale supports.
