A cross between Philodendron scherberichii Ecuagenera and Philodendron spiritus-sancti, this hybrid brings a graceful, architectural presence to a tropical collection. Its open silhouette makes it an appealing specimen to grow and appreciate as it develops.
-
Light: Bright, indirect light, ideally near an east-facing window or behind a sheer curtain. Protect from harsh midday sun.
-
Temperature: Warm-growing; 65–85°F (18–29°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
-
Humidity: Maintain 60–80% humidity with gentle air circulation.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly when the upper 1–2 inches of the mix begin to dry. Use a chunky, well-draining aroid substrate containing bark, perlite, and a moisture-retentive component; never leave the pot standing in water.
-
Growth Habit: Climbing, with an upright, extending stem. Provide a moss pole or sturdy support for aerial roots to attach and to guide growth as the plant matures.
Additional Notes:
Elongated green leaves have pointed tips, defined midribs, and gently rippled surfaces; emerging foliage is lighter than older leaves. Allow space for the long petioles and handle unfolding leaves gently. Keep away from children and pets, as chewing the plant can cause mouth irritation.
