Philodendron lupinum is a fantastic velvet leaf Philodendron species. This particular plant is sometimes confused with Philodendron melanochrysum or Philodendron micans. When this plant is in its juvenile form, the leaves are small and heart shaped. As this plant matures the leaves become elongated with deep lobes and is a true sight to behold.
Philodendron lupinum prefers to climb, so make sure to provide it with a coco pole or other support structure. As it climbs higher, the leaves will grow larger!
Philodendron lupinum 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 plant 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).
