A cross between Philodendron lynamii and Philodendron plowmanii, this tropical hybrid offers a spreading, sculptural presence for an aroid collection. It is well suited to a spacious container where its developing growth can be appreciated.
-
Light: Bright, indirect light near an east-facing window or behind a sheer curtain. Protect from strong direct sunlight.
-
Temperature: Intermediate to warm-growing, ideally 65–85°F (18–29°C). Avoid cold drafts and abrupt temperature changes.
-
Humidity: Aim for 60–80% humidity with gentle air circulation to support healthy leaf development.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of the substrate begin to dry. Use a loose, well-draining aroid mix and allow excess water to drain completely.
-
Growth Habit: Terrestrial, creeping growth with a stem that develops along the substrate surface. A wide or rectangular pot provides room to spread; a moss pole is generally unnecessary.
Additional Notes:
Broad, heart-shaped green leaves display prominent veins and a gently rippled surface. Keep the creeping stem at the substrate surface rather than burying it deeply, and position the growing tip toward open space in the pot.
