Philodendron verrucosum C Juvenile Form with Early Colouration
The Philodendron verrucosum is a velvet-leaf climbing aroid known for its deep green foliage, burgundy-backed leaves, and fuzzy petioles. While these plants are not yet showing full mature leaf form, they are already displaying early signs of colouration.
Our current batch is grown from stem cuttings (obtained from our non-tissue culture mother plant) and will continue to develop as they climb and settle into your space.
What to Expect
The plant shown in the image is representative of what you will receive. It is still in its juvenile phase but has well-developed roots and established foliage with early variegation and vein contrast.
Key Features of Philodendron verrucosum
- Velvet Foliage: Leaves are soft-textured with visible veining and hints of the deep burgundy tones this species is known for.
- Climbing Growth: This plant benefits from support such as a moss pole, which helps it mature and encourages larger leaf development.
- Non-TC Propagation: Grown from mature stem cuttings to ensure genetic stability and natural growth form.
Care Guidelines
- Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid harsh sun which can damage the delicate foliage.
- Watering: Keep soil evenly moist. Water when the top 2C3 cm feels dry, and ensure the pot drains freely.
- Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60C80%). Supplemental humidity, such as a pebble tray or humidifier, will support healthy growth.
