Philodendron sp. Colombia is an uncommon indoor plant that is collected for its unique heart shaped foliage that has a silvery hue to it. This particular species is an easy care plant that needs little attention.
Philodendron sp. Colombia has a terrestrial growth habit, which means that it will grow along the top of the soil. This plant will not climb so make sure you can provide it with ample space to grow. The leaves can reach a width of 3-4' when mature, but as an indoor plant the leaves will likely stay a bit smaller -- around 1-2' in width.
Philodendron sp. Colombia care:
Make sure your plant is in 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 it with bright indirect light.
