The lobed Florida Beauty leaf shape gives it a distinct silhouette that stands out next to the more common round-leafed hybrids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBotanical Background\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a hybrid cross between Philodendron 'Florida Beauty' and Philodendron mayoi, two well-established aroids in cultivation. The cross inherits Florida Beauty's characteristic leaf lobing along with a strong, stable variegation pattern, and has been given the trade name \"Kitina\" to distinguish it from other Florida Beauty crosses in circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright, indirect light keeps the yellow sectors vivid; too little light and the variegation dulls toward solid green over successive leaves. Grow in a chunky, fast-draining aroid mix, water once the top layer dries, and keep humidity moderate to high for the best leaf size and color contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTissue Culture Plantlet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for a tissue culture plantlet, freshly deflasked and established with its own root system. Sourcing from tissue culture locks in this specific variegation pattern reliably and gives the plant a clean, pathogen-free start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBring It Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA distinctive lobed-leaf hybrid with dependable yellow-green variegation, Kitina rewards bright light and a bit of patience with foliage that reads as genuinely unique in a collection.
