About

Philodendron fragrantissimum is a root-climbing epiphytic Philodendron native to warm, wet tropical forests ranging from Guatemala to South America, thriving in filtered light and persistent moisture. The adult plant features a stout climbing stem and several mature glossy green leaves that are broadly sagittate to cordate-sagittate with a clear sinus, strong midrib, and smooth margins. The petioles are robust, and it produces a highly fragrant inflorescence with a deep red to burgundy spathe surrounding a white spadix.

How prices are calculated: The AA Price uses verified eBay UK completed auction data — we take the trimmed mean (removing the top and bottom 20% of prices) to produce a fair-value guide that excludes outlier sales. When recent auction data is unavailable, the AA Price falls back to the current UK retail average from tracked stockists. Retail prices are scraped from active UK plant shop listings and reflect what you would pay buying directly from a retailer today. All prices are in GBP and updated automatically.
