About

Philodendron verrucosum is a stunning hemiepiphytic aroid native to the wet tropical forests stretching from Costa Rica through to Peru. It is highly prized by collectors for its iconic broad, heart-shaped leaves that possess a striking, deep-green velvety texture and prominent pale venation. The species is most easily identified by its distinctive densely bristled or scaly petioles, which add a unique tactile element to its appearance. As a climbing aroid, it thrives in warm, humid understory conditions, typically ascending trees in its natural habitat using specialized aerial roots.
