Philodendron scandens / P12

Philodendron – Philodendron scandens

Leafy and expressive, this plant brings a tropical feel without needing complicated care. The foliage is the main feature, and it pairs well with other tropical houseplants for a layered look.

Occasional pruning encourages a fuller shape, especially for trailing varieties. Water when the top few centimetres of compost are dry, and avoid leaving the pot standing in water.

A versatile houseplant that works well on its own or mixed into a larger plant display.

A good choice if you’re happy to keep an eye on light and watering. Can put on noticeable growth once settled in the right spot. Not considered pet-safe, so best kept out of reach of pets.
