Philodendron squamiferum

Philodendron Squamiferum
is a distinctive and exotic plant, notable for its long, lobed leaves and the unusual, red, hairy stems from which it derives its common name. This tropical climber is an eye-catching addition to any indoor plant collection, offering not just unique foliage but also an intriguing textural element with its pubescent (hairy) stems. These characteristics make it a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts looking to add a touch of the unusual to their green spaces.

Care Instructions:
Philodendron Squamiferum prefers bright, indirect light to encourage growth and maintain the health of its leaves. It should be watered regularly, allowing the top layer of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering should be avoided to prevent root rot. This plant benefits from high humidity, so misting regularly or using a humidifier can help maintain the ideal environment. Providing a moss pole or another type of support will encourage it to climb, mimicking its natural growth habits in the wild. Regular feeding with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season will support robust growth and vibrant foliage.
