This easy-care climber will grow larger and more impressive as it climbs with the support of a coco coir pole, and perfect for plant parents ready to level up their collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a "vining" and a "self-heading" Philodendron?
Vining varieties grow along long, flexible stems that love to trail down from shelves or scale up a pole or trellis. Self-heading (upright) varieties do not vine; instead, they grow leaves from a tight, central basal cluster, resulting in a bushy, self-supporting plant that develops offshoots at the base.

Why are the leaves on my Philodendron turning yellow?
Yellowing leaves can be caused by overwatering if the soil is soggy, underwatering if the soil is bone-dry, or placing your plant too far from a window where it lacks light. Simply adjust your care by giving bone-dry soil a deep soak, letting soggy soil dry out completely, or moving the plant closer to a bright, indirect light source. If it is just a single older leaf dropping from the very base of the stem every now and then, it is just a natural part of the plant’s aging process!

Why are my Philodendron's new leaves getting stuck or tearing as they unfurl?
When a new leaf struggles to unfurl or emerges distorted or with ripped edges, it is almost always a sign of humidity being too low. The protective sheath around the emerging leaves need moisture to stay lubricated and slippery. You can try running a humidifier near the plant or using a moist, soft paintbrush on the new leaf that to help dislodge it from the sheath.
