Philodendron corsinianum is one of the oldest known Philodendron hybrids, originating around 1888 in Italy! This plant was created by crossing Philodendron pinnatifidum with Philodendron verrucosum. The underside of the leaves have the typical red trait from Philodendron verrucosum.
As this plant matures, the leaves will grow incredibly large. This is definitely a plant to add to your collection! Philodendron corsinianum is rarely offered so grab one before they're gone!
Philodendron corsinianum care:
This plant prefers a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Allow the soil to dry out almost completely before watering, taking care to not allow it to sit in excess water. Provide your new Philodendron with plenty of bright indirect light.
Additional info:
Philodendron is one of the most popular genuses of Aroid that are currently in cultivation, with over 450 named cultivars.
Philodendron vary greatly in their natural habits, but you will find a large number of them located in Latin America. Their leaves range from small to medium to large to gigantic! You'll find Philodendron with smooth, glossy foliage and some with velvety foliage!
If you allow Philodendron to climb, their foliage will usually get much larger the higher up they get. While this isn't true for all Philodendron species -- it is for most. We recommend a coco pole to really get your Philodendron growing!
For the most part, Philodendron are easy to care for.
The name Philodendron comes from the greek words "philo" (love or affection) and "dendron" (tree).
I've discovered in the two weeks since I've received this plant that it is very delicate much like the verrucosum side of its parentage. If I could go back and "un-buy" it, I probably would. The leaves are thin and fine and easily damaged. It also seems to be very heat and humidity sensitive (i.e., needs higher humidity and lower heat). I hope I can keep it alive long enough to see its true beauty. Not for beginning plant growers.
Still growing strong. And while his daddy the verrucosum is covered with the MITE-MITE-MITES, haven't had much difficulty keeping him pest free. healthy plant from Canopy- Thank You :)
This plant came quick and in great condition. Super unique find and happy I got one.
I love this plant so much. The leaves have such a pretty shape and texture. It acclimated to its New environment easily.
Nice sized with lovely leaves..one leaf damaged during shipping but otherwise a happy plant!
