Philodendron Verrucosum - 30 cm

Product description

Philodendron Verrucosum originates from the jungles of South America. Here, the plant spreads out over the ground until it finds a tree and climbs it. This houseplant can therefore grow to a considerable height in the wild. Did you know that the name Philodendron is derived from two Greek words? Namely, philo (love) and dendron (tree), a real love tree. And certainly also a very popular houseplant because this Philodendron Verrucosum is a very popular houseplant! This houseplant not only has beautiful leaves that seem to turn golden in the light, it also has a very air-purifying effect.

Care & tips Philodendron Verrucosum - 30 cm
