Philodendron Cobra Variegated Monstera Standleyana 17cm

If you’re looking to bring a tropical rainforest vibe into your home, none do it better than Philodendrons. This striking genus of plant belongs to the Araceae (Arum) family and with an estimated 900 species it is the second-largest species in the family.

Philodendrons are native to the Americas and found stretching across the continent from north to south. They are almost always found in high-humidity environments, along rivers, in swamps and of course, in their most comfortable environment, tropical rainforests. The species consists of two main types, non-trailing and vining plants which are both popular amongst houseplant lovers for the abundant feeling they create.

In nature, they can be found climbing rocks and trees, producing larger leaves as they climb. They are able to do so by clinging using their aerial roots. This easy-to-care plant is a good choice for a plant beginner.
