I got this at a box store and it didn’t have what plant it is. And when I try to scan the plant it doesn’t help? Is this a philodendron? Which one is it?

Maybe a philodendron white knight?

Thank you! That’s what I thought but I wanted to be accurate!

Because they are so highly variegated, you may want to try silica supplement. It helps the white areas last longer. Plus it’s good for all your plants. Many choices on line.

I’m somewhat a new plant mom and didn’t know a Silica supplement was a thing. Do you have a recommended brand? I have many variegated plants do u recommend me using it on them also?

#### Phil replied on 2025-08-30

I use silica supplement whenever I fertilize. Majority of my plants are succulents and I use it on them also. Before you try it, I would suggest you research it to make sure it’s what you want to try. Many people on here use it. Pic is what I buy but there are many available on Amazon. I have a lot of plants so I have the large size. Smaller is available.
