Philodendron Gigas ~ Rooted Cutting

A popular aroid that stands out with its elongated velvety leaves, as the name suggests it can reach the giant size of 65 feet tall. The oval leaves emerge in a copper colour with light green veins and turn a dark green as they mature. It is similar to Philodendron Melanochrysum and Splendid, which have more heart-shaped leaves of a similar texture.This plant grows with a climbing habit and will need a support.

Not a particularly demanding plant. When caring for them indoors, you must avoid direct light for more than an hour or two, but maintain sufficient indirect or filtered light as these plants would naturalise in the understory of tropical rainforests.
