Whichever variant you choose, with green, red, or bright yellow leaves, whether as a climber, hanging or low-growing plant; a Philodendron brings the jungle indoors. Let this blog inspire you with the diversity of this plant!
Origin and natural habitat of the Philodendron
The Philodendron belongs to the Araceae family and originally grows in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. The often low-growing plants thrive there in the shade of taller trees. As Philodendrons in their natural habitat grow upwards in search of light, many species are true climbing plants.
Glossy green leaves and bright colours
The Philodendron boasts a huge diversity of species. Many are characterised by large, glossy leaves, ranging from deeply cut foliage to heart-shaped leaves. There are also many variegated Philodendrons known for their stunning purple-red or bright orange coloured leaves. In short, there is a suitable Philodendron for every spot.
