Plant Bio

Philodendron tortum

While Philodendron tortum is a species found in the wild, it’s only been within the last 20 years that it was officially published as a new species. Hailing from areas of Brazil and Bolivia, this climbing aroid has been hard to find and relatively expensive until now. It’s related to Monstera, Epipremnum, and Rhaphidophora. It features lacy, almost fern-like leaves that can reach more than 12 inches long. Because of its climbing nature, it’s an excellent choice for growing on a totem, moss pole, or wall.

Philodendron tortum grows best in medium to bright light (within 3 to 4 feet of a large, unobstructed east- or west-facing window is often ideal). It can be supplemented – or grow entirely – under artificial lights, as well. Water as the top half or so of the potting mix dries to the touch, provide average household temperatures, and average to above-average relative humidity levels (above 40 percent is optimal).

Note: This plant may have some natural degree of toxicity and may cause discomfort or illness if ingested. Additionally, exposure to the sap of this plant may cause discomfort to individuals with a sensitivity to it upon contact. Grown for ornamental purposes and not intended for human or animal consumption.
