This stunning terrestrial aroid is celebrated for its distinctive velvety leaves with prominent veining and iridescent qualities. The 'cf' designation means this plant looks very similar to Philodendron verrucosum but might have minor differences from the standard species.
-
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light with filtered sunlight. Provide adequate brightness while protecting delicate foliage from direct sun exposure.
-
Temperature: Prefers warm conditions with temperatures between 18-24°C (65-75°F). Maintain consistent warmth and protect from temperature fluctuations for optimal growth.
-
Humidity: Requires high humidity levels of 70-80% with good air circulation to support healthy growth and prevent leaf browning.
-
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but well-draining during growing season. Allow slight drying between waterings and maintain even moisture levels.
Additional Notes
Develops large, heart-shaped leaves with velvety texture and prominent white or light-colored veining. This climbing species benefits from moss poles or support structures and displays beautiful iridescent qualities under proper lighting conditions.
