Philodendron Caramel Marble is on top of the rareplant collector's plant "wishlist". In 2020, one leaf Caramel Marble cost aroung P500,00, almost the same price with variegated Billitiae. In 2022 the price of the plant dropped to P50,000 per leaf and currently, you can buy the one leaf for only 15,000 to P20,000 depending on the quality of variegation.
Plant Care and Propagation:
Use a mixture of coco husk, coco peat, coco cubes, pumice and vermicast as a medium. Let the aerial roots crawl the plant pole to activate it before cutting and replanting. You can use a coco pole, but I suggest using moss pole since it is looser. Water the plant two to three times a week during summer. Do not overwater as this will cause root rot. Put it on a high humid place and under indirect sunlight.
Do not over water the plant as this will cause root rot, Water it when the top two inches of the soil is already dry. My forecast is that the price of one leaf Caramel marble might go down to P2000 per leaf by the end of the year. I have seen a lot of posting of tissue cultured Caramel Marble on Facebook market place and this will soon flood our local garden. I am getting my garden ready for the Caramel marble by that time.
