The Philodendron 'Whipple Way' Sport is a striking plant that we are very excited to offer. We have been cultivating this plant for years and this is the first time we are offering established plants for sale. We acquired the mother plant from a private collector and spent a great deal of time selectively propagating it to stabilize its incredible variegation. The trademark yellow-white patches of variegation are filled with green specks. The emergent leaves are bright pink which remains on the undersides of the leaves as they harden off.

Unlike the traditional Whipple Way, our sport maintains patches of deep green. We've found that the presence of the green makes a great deal of difference in an otherwise temperamental sport. While the standard Whipple Way is very slow growing and difficult to propagate, our sport is incredibly hardy and fast growing.

Plant 1 is a fantastic specimen. It shows a great balance of variegation while occasionally producing a fully variegated leaf. It is among the best examples of this sport that we have ever produced. Plant 2 has a fair amount of variegation present on every leaf. Plant 3 shows far less variegation but is a great option for someone willing to put in the time to propagate the plant for better coloring.
