Philodendron pseudoverrucosum

Philodendron pseudoverrucosum

This rare, climbing aroid is prized for its large, heart-shaped leaves that have a striking velvet texture and reddish undersides. It requires a support to climb to reach maturity.

  • Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Protect the delicate velvet leaves from all direct, harsh sunlight to prevent scorching.
  • Temperature: Warm. This plant needs consistent heat to thrive. Day and Night: 68-86°F (20-30°C). Keep it away from all cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
  • Humidity: High humidity (ideally above 60%) is crucial. Low humidity will quickly cause leaf edges to become dry and crispy. A humidifier is strongly recommended.
  • Watering: Allow the top portion of the chunky soil mix to dry slightly before watering. Keep the mix consistently moist, but ensure the pot drains well to avoid root rot.

Additional Notes

To encourage large leaves and maturity, provide a sturdy climbing support (like a moss pole) to allow the plant to root into it as it grows upward.
