Philodendron holtonianum is a rare and unusual species of Philodendron. This plant is collected mainly for its unique foliage. As this plant matures the leaves will become trilobed and grow very long.
We recommend a coco pole for your Philodendron, as it will need to climb in order to grow mature foliage.
Philodendron holtonianum care:
This indoor 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 Philodendron plant with plenty of bright indirect light.
