Philodendron Tortum Bipinnatifidum Rare Plant 35cm

The Philodendron Tortum automatically brings you happiness and a summery feeling because she is a real palm tree look-a-like. Most Philodendrons are true climbers, but at first sight, you can already see that the Tortum is unique and different in her own way… 

The Philodendron Tortum is part of the Araceae family and originates from Brazil. The Tortum is a rare plant with very special leaves, which strongly resemble the leaves of a palm! Watching the new leaves grow is also a sight to behold. The leaf starts out with a light pink color and eventually turns green as it grows bigger. Sounds beautiful, right?

Watering: These plants prefer evenly moist soil, not wet so allow it to dry out before waterings. It would rather be dry than have its roots too wet. Keep it slightly drier during Winter months.

Light: prefer moderate to bright light, avoiding direct sunlight. It hates frost and any cold temperature.

Humidity: Philodendron Tortum needs high humidity. I recommend using humidifier on a regular basis, grow it in a glass cabinet, or group multiple plants in the same spot.

Toxicity: Philodendrons like this one are considered toxic to cats, dogs and humans due to their calcium oxalate content. Taking a bite out of your Philodendron tortum isn't going to kill your furry friend, but it can cause irritation, as calcium oxalate provokes swelling and a burning sensation in the mouth and throat

Origin:  Brazil (Amazonas)
