Botanical Name: Philodendron 'Jungle Boogie'

Common Name(s): Jungle Boogie Philodendron

Philodendron Jungle Boogie is a stunning and eye-catching variety known for its bold, vibrant foliage. The leaves of this plant feature a unique mix of deep green and striking splashes of yellow and cream, creating an almost "boogie" effect that gives the plant its playful and dynamic name. Its large, glossy leaves and trailing growth habit make it a perfect choice for adding a lush, tropical feel to any indoor space. This Philodendron is a vigorous grower and, with proper care, can reach heights of 3-6 feet. It tends to grow upright, making it suitable for both tabletop and floor displays.

The Jungle Boogie thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps enhance its vibrant coloration. While it can tolerate lower light levels, its growth may slow, and the colors may become less pronounced. This plant prefers well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil and should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering should be avoided and proper drainage is needed to prevent root rot. As a tropical plant, it enjoys humidity, so maintaining moderate to high humidity, using a humidifier, will help the Jungle Boogie flourish, particularly in dry environments.

Air Purifying Qualities:

• Toxin Removal: Philodendron Jungle Boogie is effective at filtering common indoor toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene, improving the air quality in your home.
• Oxygen Production: Like other Philodendrons, it absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, helping to freshen and purify the indoor atmosphere.
• Humidity Regulation: This plant naturally raises humidity levels through transpiration, making it beneficial for improving comfort in dry indoor environments.

Note: Philodendron Jungle Boogie is toxic to pets (cats and dogs) if ingested. Keep it out of reach of curious animals and monitor pets to prevent any potential ingestion.
