Philodendron Squamiferum | Hairy Stem Climbing Aroid Indoor Plant

Distinctive Features
Hairy Stems: The petioles (leaf stems) are densely covered in soft bristles that start green and turn a vibrant reddish-brown as they mature.
Oak-Shaped Leaves: Its deep green, glossy leaves are multi-lobed and can grow up to 45cm (18 inches) long indoors.
Climbing Habit: As a natural hemiepiphyte, it loves to climb. Providing a moss pole or trellis will encourage it to produce larger, more mature leaves.

Essential Care Tips
Light: Best in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun will scorch the leaves, while too little will slow its growth significantly.
Watering: Allow the top 25–50% of the soil to dry out between waterings. It is sensitive to overwatering, which can lead to root rot.

Humidity: Thrives in higher humidity (60% or more) but is adaptable to standard home levels if kept away from dry drafts or heaters.
Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix containing orchid bark, perlite, and charcoal.
