Philodendron applanatum is a fairly uncommon plant that closely resembles Philodendron 'Bette Waterbury' ('69686'), with it's trilobed foliage. However, the petioles on this species are flat!
We recommend providing your Philodendron plant with a coco pole or other support structure to climb. As they climb higher, their leaves will get larger!
Philodendron applanatum care:
This plant prefers a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Allow the soil to dry out almost completely between 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).

Was wondering when the shipment arrived why the box was so big. Then a bit shocked by the plant size. Huge! Usually, the philos I receive are smaller. So, well done Canopy Plant!
Very unusual Philo. It is doing well. I'm glad I have it my plant collection.
