Philodendron plowmanii 7338

Native to Ecuador and Peru, this terrestrial Philodendron is known for its large, heart-shaped leaves with prominent corrugated veins and striking coloration. As a creeping aroid, it grows along the soil surface with a thick, scaly rhizome. Its foliage displays silvery tones mixed with green and deep venation, making it one of the most dramatic Philodendrons in collections.
FLOWER DETAILS
Flowers are rare in cultivation. Like other Philodendrons, they appear as a pale green to cream spathe surrounding a yellowish spadix. While not its primary ornamental feature, the bloom provides an interesting botanical detail.
