A striking hemiepiphytic climber characterized by its elongated, lanceolate leaves that showcase a vibrant emerald green hue and prominent primary veining. This cultivar is highly sought after for its architectural foliage and robust growth habit, making it an excellent choice for indoor collections or tropical landscapes where it can climb or trail gracefully.
-
Light: Provides bright indirect light for optimal growth; avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the foliage, especially during the hottest part of the day.
-
Temperature: 65-85°F (18-29°C); intermediate to warm grower. Protect the plant from cold drafts and ensure temperatures do not drop below 60°F (15°C) to maintain healthy foliage.
-
Humidity: 60-80%; although it can adapt to average household levels, higher humidity encourages larger leaf development and faster growth.
-
Watering: Water when the top inch of the substrate feels dry to the touch, ensuring thorough saturation and excellent drainage to avoid waterlogged roots.
Additional Notes
Like most Philodendrons, this species produces a greenish-white spathe and spadix, though it is mainly grown for its beautiful foliage. It is shipped with a healthy, well-established root system and is ready to be potted in a well-draining aroid mix upon arrival.
