Origin
The Philodendron 'Polypodioides Tortum' 6/tray is a member of the Araceae family and originally hails from Central and South America. This plant is an epiphyte, which means it naturally grows on the surfaces of other plants in the wild. This particular type of Philodendron has adapted to conditions in the rainforest, where light is tempered by the overstory vegetation.

Characteristics
The Philodendron 'Polypodioides Tortum' 6/tray stands out with its unique curling leaves, enabling it to climb upwards and hang. The plant features bright green, glossy leaves that may turn a purplish hue as they age. Each leaf is heart-shaped and can span up to 30 cm wide, while the plant itself can reach up to 2 metres tall. The stems of this variety are thick and sturdy, able to support the weight of the large leaves.

Care
Taking care of the Philodendron 'Polypodioides Tortum' 6/tray entails remembering that it favours high humidity and well-fertilised soil. It thrives best under indirect sunlight and moderate temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 24 °C. As they are accustomed to a rainforest environment, keeping the soil evenly moist is crucial, avoiding submerging the plant in water. Yellowing of leaves can indicate overwatering.

Additionally, the plant should be repotted every 2-3 years to encourage growth and ensure the roots have ample space. Prune away old leaves to stimulate new growth.
