Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Terrestrial Philodendron with large heart-shaped leaves. Veins are indented into leaves, giving the leaves a rippled texture. Mature leaves can be 1.5' long.
Philodendron plowmanii features large, green, heart-shaped leaves with deep cut, dark green veins that give it a distinct look. Makes a great houseplant! It is best grown in fertile, organic, acidic soil that is moist but never waterlogged. Allow the soil to mostly dry out between waterings. Fertilize monthly, more frequently in containers, and water regularly. Philodendron prefer bright, indoor light but do not take well to direct sunlight. Protect from freezing temperatures!
