Philodendrons

A philodendron is a type of tropical flowering plant belonging to the family Araceae. There are approximately 450 species of philodendrons, which are native to tropical America

  • These plants are popular as houseplants due to their attractive foliage and relatively low maintenance requirements.
  • Philodendrons can be broadly categorized into two types: climbing (vining) and non-climbing (self-heading) varieties
  • Climbing philodendrons often grow as vines, wrapping their roots around tree trunks or other supports, while non-climbing varieties grow upright with a more bush-like appearance
  • The leaves of philodendrons come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, ranging from heart-shaped to deeply lobed, and can be green, coppery, red, or purplish
  • They thrive in bright, indirect light and prefer moderate watering, making them suitable for indoor environments
