Returns Simplified.Philodendron Champs lyses is a rare and luxurious hybrid variety celebrated for its bold variegation, sculptural growth, and unmistakably tropical presence. A member of the Araceae family, this hybrid is believed to originate from carefully selected Philodendron species prized for their strong, self-heading habit and luminous marbling making it one of the most desirable modern collectors plants.
The large, broad leaves of Philodendron Champs lyses are beautifully marbled with bright lime, cream, and deep green patterns that vary with each new leaf. Some emerge almost fully yellow before developing rich green sectors and painterly streaks across their surface. The petioles and stems often have subtle pink or bronze undertones, adding warmth and complexity to its colour palette. With its robust, upright growth and lavish variegation, this plant is a true statement of elegance and rarity.
Tropical, opulent, and perfectly balanced, Philodendron Champs lyses captures the grandeur of its Parisian namesake a masterpiece for the modern plant collector.
Thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain strong, vibrant variegation. It can tolerate moderate light, but lower light levels may result in reduced contrast or more solid green leaves. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the pale or yellow variegated sections.
Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top 23 cm of soil feels dry to the touch, and ensure the pot has excellent drainage. Reduce watering slightly in winter, allowing the surface to dry out more between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of stress in Philodendrons.
Temperature: Prefers warmth between 1828 C; avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 15 C.
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity (6080%) supports lush growth and helps prevent leaf crisping. Mist occasionally or use a humidifier in dry indoor environments.
Use a rich, airy, well-draining aroid mix compost combined with perlite, coco coir, and orchid bark is ideal. This provides aeration and gentle moisture retention. Repot every 12 years in spring to refresh the substrate and promote healthy root development.
Feed every 46 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser. Avoid over-fertilising, which can lead to leaf burn or dull the variegation. Suspend feeding in autumn and winter when growth slows.
Remove older or damaged leaves near the base to maintain a clean, upright shape. Wipe the large leaves regularly with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and bring out their natural shine. Rotate occasionally for even growth and symmetrical variegation.
A moderate grower, Philodendron Champs lyses typically reaches 80120 cm in height and spread indoors. As a self-heading hybrid, it develops strong, upright stems that support large, luxurious leaves. Mature plants can form a compact, architectural rosette, perfect as a statement piece for living spaces or conservatories.
Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.
Brown tips: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.
Loss of variegation: Insufficient light.
Pests: Occasionally affected by thrips, mealybugs, or spider mites treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
Philodendron Champs lyses is a modern hybrid bred for collectors who appreciate dramatic variegation and architectural structure. Its name reflects its refined beauty and grandeur inspired by the elegant boulevards of Paris. Though its exact lineage is closely guarded by growers, it combines the hardiness and growth pattern of Philodendron melinonii types with the colour intensity of variegated tropical hybrids.
Like other Philodendrons, its also an effective air purifier, helping to remove toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene from indoor air. Symbolically, its golden tones represent abundance and vitality, while its lush green marbling evokes harmony and growth making it both beautiful and meaningful.
