# My philodendron Rio is reverting. Newest growths are missing the…

My philodendron Rio is reverting. Newest growths are missing the signature white stripes. They probably need more light. It lives on a north facing window getting moderate light since autumn. So, I’m not surprised it’s reverting. It looks like a philodendron Micans. I will cut off the top stems with the solid colored leaves hoping the new growth will be striped.

It’s in the original 3 inch pot placed inside a 4 inch ceramic pot. A meat skewer and plant clips keeps it vertical to fit on the window sill. I typically water about once every 5 to 7 days in winter. So, it’s under watered a bit. But, it’s still slowly growing. I will repot in a month when I can take it back outside.
