Philodendron Polypodioides 7328

Philodendron Polypodioides 🌿
Scientific name: Philodendron polypodioides (classification note: widely used in horticulture for the finely divided, feather-like leaf form; prioritize this commercial name as provided).
Origin: Tropical northern South America.
Key features: A slender climbing aroid with long, narrow, deeply dissected leaves creating a fern-like, airy silhouette; fine lobes arranged along a central midrib give a refined, fishbone look; elegant texture and graceful vertical habit suited to minimal interiors.
FLOWER DETAILS
Produces a pale spadix partially enclosed by a light spathe; flowering indoors is uncommon and typically occurs only on mature plants grown in stable, warm conditions.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; shield from harsh midday sun to prevent scorch on delicate lobes.
💧 Water: Keep evenly moist but never soggy; allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings.
🌡️ Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity; consistent moisture in the air helps maintain crisp, finely cut foliage.
🪴 Soil: Loose, chunky aroid mix with bark and perlite for excellent drainage and aeration.
🏺 Potting: Provide a slim moss pole or trellis; refresh the mix and upsize every 12–24 months as roots fill the pot.
🌱 Growth rate: Moderate; forms a graceful climber with narrow, highly segmented leaves.
🐾 Pet friendly: Not pet-safe (like most philodendrons, contains calcium oxalates).
