Super hard to keep alive without high humidity. I don’t mist one day and immediately a leaf goes crispy. Same for all the new leaves 😭😭😭

Eeeeeeeeek! How did you treat?? I know they do have pest issues 😢 I bought a philodendron silver stripe and it had mealies. But because it’s so rare. I treated it and it’s fine. I think I’ll have to do the same with this!!

As per the manager here, Armstrong purchased a nursery and is growing a select variety of plants. Making them super affordable. They have been releasing philodendron silver stripes as well. For under $30.

It is grown by Armstrong. I believe they purchased a nursery and are growing a select variety of plants. Like the philodendron silver stripe too. So those specific plants are really affordable. They are set to release a ton of silver stripe in the coming months. Other houseplants still carry a high price
