Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Philodendrons are known for their ability to clean the air, grow under low light and tolerate the indoor environment with ease. The rare Ecuador Philodendron does this with style! Its spectacular deep emerald-green leaves with golden ribbing make this climber a great container plant. Native to the lowland jungles of Ecuador, it creeps along the forest floor as a small leaved vine until it runs into a tree and then begins to climb where the leaves increase in size up to a foot an a half in length. Grown best in low-to-medium light, this easy-to-grow foliage plant brings greenery to any indoor space.
