Philodendron 'Painted Lady'

Philodendron 'Painted Lady' is a climbing variegated Philodendron with bright juvenile colour, red-toned stems and a steady upward habit. New leaves usually open in yellow-green to lime shades with darker green flecking, then deepen as they mature while keeping a mottled two-green pattern. The contrast between the warm petioles and fresh leaf colour is especially clear on fresh growth before the leaves settle into deeper green tones.

This cultivar benefits from support as the stem lengthens. Aerial roots form at the nodes, and the leaves sit more neatly when the plant is trained on a moss pole, plank or trellis. In a pot without support, older stems may lean or trail, but the natural growth direction is upward.

Mottled new growth and red petioles

  • Stem habit: A lengthening climbing stem with visible nodes and aerial roots.
  • Leaf colour: Yellow-green new growth marked with darker green mottling.
  • Petioles: Pink to red stems and leaf stalks that stay visually important even as older leaves darken.
  • Training: A support helps the plant hold larger, better-spaced leaves indoors.

McColley breeding background and mature plant shape

Philodendron 'Painted Lady' comes from Robert H. McColley’s Orlando, Florida breeding work. Its breeding background is recorded in USPP3958, published on 19 October 1976, with the cross Philodendron 'Burgundy' × Philodendron 'Emerald Queen'. The patent describes yellow-green mottled new leaves, mature two-green foliage, bright red stems and petioles, climbing growth and a need for staking as the plant develops.

The cultivar brings together red stem colour, climbing behaviour and mottled green-yellow foliage. The colour balance can vary between plants and between leaves on the same stem, so a healthy specimen may show brighter juvenile growth followed by calmer mature leaves.

The climbing habit matters for indoor care. Leaves are held on petioles from a central stem, and each node can produce aerial roots when humidity, contact and support are available. Support gives the stem a clear direction and helps new leaves expand without the plant becoming stretched or unstable in the pot.

Care for supported Painted Lady growth

  • Light: Give bright, indirect light with protection from harsh midday sun. Pale leaf tissue can scorch quickly, while very dim conditions usually lead to smaller leaves and longer internodes.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly once the upper part of the substrate has dried. The roots need moisture followed by oxygen, so the pot should never stay constantly wet.
  • Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with bark, coarse fibre, perlite or pumice and a moisture-retentive base. Dense potting soil can hold too much water around the roots.
  • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually tolerated, but steadier humidity helps new leaves unfurl cleanly. A humidifier, grouped plants or a vitrine can help in very dry conditions.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally around 18–27°C. Cold, wet substrate is the main risk during cooler months.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser. Pale new leaves are normal for this cultivar, so do not treat every yellow-green leaf as a deficiency.
  • Pruning and support: Add a pole early if you want a vertical plant. Prune stretched stems above a node to shorten the vine and root cuttings when the plant is actively growing.

Problems to check on Philodendron 'Painted Lady'

  • Soft yellowing leaves: Check root moisture first. A heavy substrate, oversized pot or frequent watering can reduce oxygen around the roots.
  • Crisp pale patches: Move the plant away from direct sun or intense grow lights. Pale tissue marks more quickly than darker green tissue.
  • Small leaves and long gaps between nodes: Increase light gradually and give the stem support so the plant can climb instead of stretching sideways.
  • Stuck new leaves: Check humidity and airflow. Consistently dry air can make the cataphyll cling around new growth.
  • Distorted fresh growth: Inspect petioles, cataphylls and leaf backs for thrips, spider mites, mealybugs or scale.

Handling and pet safety

Philodendron 'Painted Lady' should be kept away from pets and small children. Like other Philodendron, it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat and digestive tract if chewed or swallowed. Sap may also irritate sensitive skin, so wash your hands after pruning or taking cuttings.

Name and McColley cultivar context

Philodendron belongs to the Araceae family. The genus name comes from Greek roots meaning “loving trees”, a reference to the climbing habit seen in many species. The cultivar name 'Painted Lady' refers to the mottled, brushed-looking colour pattern across the leaves.

Philodendron 'Painted Lady' combines red petioles, mottled yellow-green new growth and a documented McColley hybrid background.

Indestructible Toys My Dobermans ❤️
Size: Large, Color: Mesh Green
Actually Respect! goDog Is a Lifesaver The variety of size and colors are phenomenal 😇 I have two Dobermans — serious, determined power chewers — and I’ve spent years trying to find toys that survive even a few days. I’ve tried the big brands (Kong, Goughnuts, Jolly Ball, you name it) — and while some toys last a little while, almost everything eventually ends up shredded, de-squeaked, or in pieces. goDog toys are the ONLY plush toys my Dobermans won’t destroy. We own multiple goDog toys now — dragons, dinosaurs, lizards — mostly in the large size (perfect for Dobermans), but even a few medium-sized ones hold up surprisingly well. Here’s what’s amazing: • They love them — actually carry them around, toss them, chew them gently, and squeak them happily. • They do not rip them apart — no matter how much tugging, chewing, or wrestling happens. • Large sizes are best for Dobermans (and other big breeds) — but even mediums survive for calmer play sessions. • No ripped seams, no stuffing everywhere, and no destroyed squeakers after months of use. What makes goDog toys different? The secret is their Chew Guard Technology — • A reinforced, high-strength inner mesh layer under the soft plush • Double-stitched seams • Durable yet flexible material that somehow resists punctures, tears, and brutal shaking The outside stays soft and fun, but the inside is built like armor. It’s NOT a super hard rubber or rough canvas — it still feels like a cuddle toy, but it’s engineered to survive serious chewing. Materials include: • Durable polyester plush • Chew Guard inner lining (high-tensile mesh fabric) • Reinforced stitching • Non-toxic squeakers • Safe for dogs to play with long-term Real Owner Advice: • Always size up if you have a heavy chewer — large sizes are a must for Dobermans or similarly strong breeds. • Medium sizes are fine if you supervise or your dog is more moderate with toys, but the large toys are built tougher overall. Final Thoughts: If you have big dogs, strong jaws, or just tired of wasting money on destroyed toys — goDog toys are a must. No other plush-style toy even comes close. My Dobermans will destroy almost anything… but they treat their goDog toys like treasured companions. No holes, no rips, just happy dogs. Follow me here on Amazon for more honest, dog-tested reviews! Like this review if it helped — I’ll be uploading even more proven tough toys and pet essentials soon!

Surface Fabric is very durable
Size: Small, Color: Hot Pink
Surface Fabric is very durable, but the squeaker didn't last two months. I have urged the manufacturer to find a strong more durable squeaker for their product. My dogs really enoys it when the speaker works. One of his 3 work. I have just bought two more he likes them so much. He takes it to bed every night to catch it once or twice before sleeping. Also loves to catch it a few times during the day.

Best. Toy. Ever. For My Superchewer!
Size: Large, Color: Skinny Green, Size: Large, Color: Skinny Green
Best toy ever! My dog destroys toys. Usually within about 15 minutes, she has de-squeakered and defluffed them. By the second day, she has tug-of-war-ed them to shreds. From the time we got this adorable dragon out of the package, she LOVED it. She set to work. It’s been a week, and while she has dewinged him, he lost his squeaker after a few days, and he looks a bit rough, he’s still in one piece! And, we’ve had HOURS of tug-of-war with minimal rips! She’s obsessed 😍 I ordered two more today. We’ve finally found the perfect toy for my baby!

My 90 lb. Pitbull's All-Time Fave Toy
Size: Large, Color: Coral, Size: Large, Color: Coral
I ordered a plethora of new toys for Bruce to keep him occupied while I am working remotely from home. Poor guy gets so bored while I'm stuck in front of my computer 8+ hours a day. All the other toys are animated, but this one is just a big floppy chewy squeaky toy. Bruce quickly lost interest in all the other chirping, hopping, and twirling toys and fell in love with "Diny". When I opened Diny and gave it to Bruce, he had the elated and surprised look of a 3 yr old at Christmas. And he stayed that happy for hours, and then each time he picked up Diny to play. Diny became his go-to toy over all others (and there are many!). It is well made out of durable fabric, and they did not stuff it full of kapoc (I hate kapoc in dogs toys!). And it is delightfully low-tech. Normally he tears a squeaky toy apart as soon as he can isolate the squeaky mechanism. But cleverly, the squeaky box is loose in the long belly so it moves from one end to the other as the toy is handled. That made it difficult for Bruce to locate it. The toy remained in good condition for 2 weeks of near constant attention by Bruce. But yesterday he zeroed in on the squeaky box and ripped Diny to shreds. I was sad to see Diny go so soon. But boy-howdy was Bruce happy with it. I'm gonna buy another because we liked it so much. And so did I : )

This is one “under the radar” gem!!
Size: Large, Color: Coral
This is one “under the radar” gem!! Very strong internal squeaker and way tougher than it looks. My big 125lb Shepard-Husky mix gave it heck, then made it his new buddy. He’ll occasionally give it the business but on the whole, it’s surprisingly tough and my big boy loves it. Nice price!!
