Philodendron McColley's Finale Plants
Philodendron McColley's Finale is one of the easier philodendrons grown today. This trending tropical houseplant boasts stunning multicolor foliage, a series of lime green and bright red hues.
As a fairly easy-to-care-for tropical plant, the Philodendron McColley's Finale is ideal for beginner houseplant parents. Ideal care for these laidback beauties includes bright indirect light conditions and moderate to high humidity levels. These plants easily adapt to new circumstances though, so they can also handle medium to lower light levels.
When watering your Philodendron plant, we recommend allowing your plant to dry out between waterings. Your plant will also benefit from applying a well-balanced fertilizer in the growing seasons of spring and summer.
The colorful leaves on these lustrous plants are 7 to 10 inches long! New leaves emerge as a bright autumn red and gradually age to dark green. The plant's unique bright colors, smooth foliage, and large leaves make them a gorgeous addition to any space!
Since these plants have a tropical origin, they can be moved outdoors during summer. You can move your plant into part-sun if weather permits and they are not in heavy direct sunlight. As an added bonus, these stunning house plants can be easily propagated through stem cuttings.
