Philodendron Verrucosum - Ecuador Philodendron

Ecudaor Philodendron
Philodendron Verrucosum

A collector’s dream and jungle royalty in one climbing plant.

The Philodendron Verrucosum is one of the most breathtaking aroids out there. Native to the cloud forests of Ecuador, this beauty is all about velvety, heart shaped leaves with glowing veins that shimmer in the light. Every new leaf unfurls like a work of art, and they only get more stunning with size.

Its fuzzy, bristled petioles (yep, the stems are hairy!) are a quirky and unique feature that make it stand out even more. This one’s not just a plant, it’s a showstopper.

�?Why we are obsessed:

�?Velvety deep green leaves with neon like veining
�?Striking red backed leaves on new growth
�?Hairy petioles add texture and charm
�?A climber that thrives with a moss pole or support
�?Highly sought after by collectors

💡 Light: Bright, indirect light is a must, too little light will stunt growth, but direct sunlight can scorch those velvet leaves

💧 Water: Likes lightly moist soil, let the top few centimetres dry out between waterings

🌱 Humidity: High humidity is key, aim for at least 60%+ to keep leaves happy and edges crisp

🌡�?Temperature: Prefers warm, stable indoor temperatures, avoid cold drafts and dry air

🐾 Pet/Child Safe? No, this stunner is toxic if ingested

🌿 Top Tip: Add a moss pole to support climbing and encourage bigger, better leaves. The more it climbs, the more dramatic it gets!
