Philodendron Thai Sunrise

Philodendron Thai Sunrise is a rare hybrid cultivar admired for its striking variegation. The elongated leaves feature bright lime to golden-yellow centers contrasted by deep green margins, creating a vivid, sunrise-like effect. Its compact growth habit and bold coloration make it a standout choice for collectors seeking ornamental foliage.

Due to natural variations in color, not all plants will have the same color or variegation.
