Philodendron Fuzzy Petiole is an undescribed species that has hairy, or fuzzy, petioles with large semi-heart shaped leaves. If used as an indoor plant these plants are quite easy to care for and need little attention.
We recommend providing your Philodendron Fuzzy Petiole with a coco pole or other support structure to attach itself to. If it isn't allowed to climb, the plant will spread out.
Caring for your Philodendron Fuzzy Petiole is fairly simple. Provide your plant with 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. Give it bright indirect light.
