Variegated Philodendron Domesticum Price update and Care Tips

 The price of Variegated Philodendron Domesticum in 2021 is a whooping P35,000 to P40,000 per leaf. I remember a seller from market place told me that a matured Domesticum with 3 to 4 leaves cost about P100,000. So I waited for another year and bought my medium size Domesticum imported from Thailand with three leaves for P22,000. 

The plant was imported from Thailand and the seller from Batangas sent me the plant straight from the airport and it looks unhealthy. Good enough that the seller is a legitimate pant importer and replaced the plant. When you buy an imported plant make sure not to report and water it the moment it arrives on your place. Let the plant adjust to its new environment and water it the next day. 

I have propagated my Domesticum in the last quarter of 2022 and the price already drops to P2,000 per leaf. As of this writing, you can already buy at a lower price of P600 to P800 per leaf. My forecast is that the cost of one leaf at the end of the year will be about P100 per leaf. .

Care Tips: Just like any other variegated plants, this plant needs a lot of bright indirect sunlight and high humid place. You can water the plant twice a week during summer and once a week during cold weather. You can use Osmocote 14-14-14 as fertilizer. Don't use Urea since it will promote greener leaves. Soil Mixture: You can use coco cubes, cocopeat and pumice, especially during propagation
