Strawberry Shake Variegated Plant With POT
The strawberry shake philodendron (Philodendron erubescens ‘Strawberry Shake’) is a stunning variegated houseplant that is known for its unique pink, yellow, and cream coloring. Native to the rainforests of South America, this naturally occurring P. erubescens hybrid is known for being extremely rare and expensive to acquire. It’s particularly popular among houseplant collectors and enthusiasts but is gradually becoming more mainstream as people’s interest in variegated houseplants increases.
As with most variegated tropical plants, the strawberry shake philodendron needs some specific care requirements in order to grow well indoors. Pet owners and parents should also be aware that like all philodendrons, the strawberry shake is considered toxic to pets and kids if ingested1.

Strawberry Shake Philodendron Care
The strawberry shake philodendron can be considered a moderately difficult houseplant to care for. It requires very specific conditions in order to maintain its characteristic variegation, and is at risk of reverting if its growing environment isn’t right. It also does best with high humidity, which usually requires some extra care and equipment for most homeowners. Also keep in mind that like many philodendrons, the strawberry shake is a climbing plant that requires a trellis or moss pole as it matures. While this tropical plant is known to flower in its native habitat, it rarely (if ever) flowers when grown indoors.
