Philodendron hederaceum 'Cream Splash'

Cream Splash carries irregular splashed patches of cream-white across the green blade, distinct from the larger sectoral blocks of 'Brasil' or the streaked pattern of 'Silver Stripe'; the variegation here reads as scattered flecks and splashes rather than a clean split. It shares the same easygoing, low-light-tolerant, trailing or climbing habit as the rest of the heartleaf family.
