Philodendron Splendid

Philodendron 'Splendid' (Philodendron 'Splendid')

This royal Philodendron 'Splendid' is a breathtaking hybrid (created by crossing P. melanochrysum and P. verrucosum), boasting large, velvety heart-shaped leaves with striking, light veining. It is an exclusive and luxury-class houseplant that will add a sophisticated and tropical jungle atmosphere to any interior. It makes a fantastic and valuable gift for plant collectors or design lovers seeking something truly visually impressive. This climbing beauty will thrive best and grow larger leaves if you give it the opportunity to climb a coconut or moss pole!

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• ☀️ Light: Bright location with diffused light or partial shade. Must be strictly protected from direct, scorching sunlight, which can damage and burn the delicate, velvety leaf surface.

• 💧 Watering: Moderate. Allow the top layer of soil (about 2-4 cm) to dry out between waterings. The roots need a loose and breathable environment, so the plant must never remain waterlogged for long periods.

• 🌡️ Temperature/Humidity: Loves warmth and very high air humidity (ideally above 60%). The plant will be extremely grateful for a humidifier in the room. Although it loves humidity, be careful with direct misting on the velvety leaves – it’s better to humidify the air around the plant to avoid unsightly water spots on the leaves.

• 🐾 Pets: Not pet-friendly. The plant is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested (contains calcium oxalate crystals).

🏠 BEST ROOM:

• Bright living room (where it can become an impressive focal point together with a plant support).

• Bathroom with a window (the plant will literally adore the natural tropical humidity there).

• Exotic plant corner (where stable humidity can be ensured and the leaf texture admired up close).

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Height: 20-25 cm
