This special philodendron is popular among plant collectors, as it is rarely found in the wild and on the market. And secondly, it impresses with its slightly wavy, strong green leaves, which have a velvety texture. Using climbing aids, it can soon grow to a height and is therefore happy in a location with plenty of space.

Ben's tips on plant care:
- Habitat/Light Requirements: partial shade to light, avoid direct sunlight.
- Substrate: Ben's Philodendron & Monstera Soil, special soil.
- Temperature: optimal at 23-27° C (day), 16-18° C (night), do not let cool down below 12°C
- Watering: keep substrate moist and water when the top layer of substrate begins to dry, using lukewarm water with low lime content, but avoid waterlogging. Water less in winter.
- Humidity: needs high humidity, spray regularly (but leaves should be allowed to dry afterwards!) or use humidifier.
- Nutrient addition: In spring/summer about every 4-6 weeks with liquid fertilizer.
- Repot approximately every 1-2 years when the plant is properly rooted.
