This stunning terrestrial Philodendron is native to parts of Ecuador and Peru. As it matures it develops spots of silver on it's foliage. It has a very unique petiole with colorful ruffled edges. Since this is a terrestrial Philodendron, this essentially means it's rhizome "creeps/crawls" along the jungle floor rather than climb the sides of trees like most Philodendron.
Care:
These would be happiest in a bright filtered light and taking care to avoid direct sun. As with most aroids, water when roughly the top 2" of soil is dry. This may roughly be once a week or longer depending on your home environment. When repotting use a semi-coarse soil medium that will drain water well.
All of our plants are ethically sourced from certified U.S. nurseries. We strongly condemn the poaching of plants or wild collection.
