Philodendron Dean McDowell C Low-Growing Indoor Plant with Large Textured Leaves

Philodendron Dean McDowell is a slow-growing, ground-crawling philodendron with large, heart-shaped leaves and a velvety texture. Its broad foliage makes it a statement plant without requiring vertical space. Best suited to wide pots or planters where it can spread naturally across the surface.

Key Features

Large Heart-Shaped Leaves: Broad, green leaves with defined veins.
Space-Conscious: Ideal for shelves or wide pots in bright indoor rooms.
Indoor Adapted: Grown indoors and suited to Australian home conditions.

Care Requirements

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun may scorch the leaves.

Soil: Needs a chunky, well-draining mix to support the crawling rhizome.
Humidity: Tolerates normal indoor humidity but benefits from levels above 60%.
