About
Philodendron nangaritense is an Ecuadorian species named for the Nangaritza river valley, known mainly to specialist collectors and rarely encountered outside dedicated aroid importers. Like many recently-introduced Ecuadorian Philodendron species, detailed cultivation records are still limited compared to long-established collector species. Its variegated selection is an even rarer form, layering cream sectoring over the species' foliage.
