Philodendron serpens is a rare and uncommon species that thrives in higher than average humidity.  Perfect for a greenhouse or even an Ikea cabinet that's been converted into one!

The foliage is very fuzzy and is arrow shaped.

Philodendron serpens is a climber, so make sure to provide it with a coco pole or other support structure to attach to.  As the plant climbs higher, the leaves will grow larger.

Philodendron serpens care:

This Philodendron species prefers a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter.  Allow the soil to dry out about half way before watering, taking care to not let it sit in excess water or remain dry for an extended period.  Philodendron serpens needs an environment with higher than average humidity in order to thrive.  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).
