Philodendron longilobatum is a very peculiar tropical indoor plant species! This Philodendron grows long, narrow leaves. The lobes are greatly defined and come to points.
We recommend giving your Philodendron plant a coco pole or other support structure to climb. As it climbs higher, the leaves will become larger!
Philodendron longilobatum 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 not to let it sit in excess water. Provide your new Philodendron with plenty of bright indirect light for optimal growth.
