Philodendron serpens – Fuzzy-Leafed Climber

 🌿🪴

The Philodendron serpens is a rare and exotic aroid prized for its velvety green heart-shaped leaves and distinctive fuzzy petioles covered in soft hairs. With its tropical look and unique textures, it’s a true collector’s plant that makes a bold statement when grown on a support or moss pole.

Key Features:

✔ Stunning large velvety green foliage

✔ Unique hairy petioles that give the plant its signature look

✔ A climbing philodendron – perfect for training up a moss pole

✔ Rare and highly sought-after by collectors

✔ Creates a luxurious tropical feel indoors

Care Instructions:

• Light: Enjoys bright, indirect light – avoid direct sun which can scorch leaves

• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy; allow the top few cm to dry between waterings

• Humidity: Loves high humidity (60%+) – mist or use a humidifier to prevent crispy edges

• Soil: Use a well-draining aroid mix (peat, perlite, orchid bark)

• Feeding: Fertilise every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant feed

• Temperature: Prefers 18–28°C; protect from cold drafts

🌿 Tip: Give it a moss pole or totem – this will encourage larger leaves and faster growth.
