About

Philodendron tortum 'Aurea Variegated' is an exceptional climbing aroid native from northern Brazil to Bolivia. Prized for its highly unusual, deeply divided skeleton-like or lace-like leaves with many narrow, linear segments, this cultivated select form displays vibrant aurea (yellow to chartreuse) variegation in both sectoral patches and delicate marbling. It has a climbing growth habit, supported by smooth green petioles with sheathing nodes and sturdy aerial roots, and thrives in wet tropical setups with bright indirect light and high humidity.

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.
