About

Philodendron serpens is a fascinating climbing species native to the wet tropical rainforests of Colombia and Ecuador. This aroid thrives in the humid, shaded understory, utilizing its aerial roots to ascend trees in perpetually moist conditions. A distinctive characteristic is its stems and petioles, which are densely adorned with long, shaggy, reddish to cinnamon hairs. The leaves are cordate-sagittate, medium to large, featuring an acute tip and subtly plicate venation. Its scandent growth habit and unique hairy features make it a visually intriguing species for aroid enthusiasts.

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.
