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. Those easy-to-care and fast-growing plants are perfect for home and workplaces.
Please note that due to the fragile nature of the plant and large leaves, there are cosmetic damages on some leaves. This philodendron gets damaged very easily and not every leaf is perfect.
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.
Philodendrons, which literally translates from Greek into ‘love trees’ will enjoy one of our handmade, fresh, sphagnum moss poles!
