Philodendron 'Colombia' - 1L / 14cm / Small forsteriana

Philodendron 'Colombia' - 1L / 14cm / Small forsterianaPhilodendron sp. Colombia is a striking creeping philodendron prized for its thick, quilted foliage and pronounced veining that gives each leaf a textured, almost sculpted appearance. Unlike climbing varieties, this plant grows horizontally along the soil surface via a crawling rhizome like stem, gradually spreading and forming a dramatic ground hugging display that spills over the edge of pots. Native to Colombia and traded under an informal species

or conservatories where its climbing nature can be supported

but overwatering must be avoided

The ideal large specimen without taking up space in all directions

Non Toxic to Pets

this variety is cultivated for its bold leaf structure and vigorous growth

Enjoys moderate to high humidity

Ensure excellent drainage to avoid root rot

Reduce watering frequency in winter but do not allow the mix to dry out completely for extended periods

with sturdy stems and a strong central trunk when allowed to mature
