Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Philodendron pictum has stunning colorful, silver blotched leaves that grow to 1 foot long when growing on a totem. In 2008 this Philodendron won best of show. The collector of the plant told me that they saw the plants leaves reach 2 feet long on a mature plant. If the plant is not allowed to climb, the plant will stay small making it great for terrariums Foliage: Green leaves with silver to gray blotches over the entire leaf Flowers: Unknown Height: Climber
