Ecuador Philodendron (Philodendron verrucosum)

Philodendrons are known for their ability to clean the air, grow under low light and tolerate the indoor environment with ease. The rare Ecuador Philodendron does this with style! Its spectacular deep emerald-green leaves with golden ribbing make this climber a showy container plant. Native to the lowland jungles of Ecuador, it creeps along the forest floor as a small leaved vine until it reaches a tree and begins to climb. Then the large, majestic leaves appear. This rare, easy-to-grow foliage plant brings style and tropical greenery to any indoor space. Special note: Some of the Philodendron verrucosum in our collection have shown flecking in the leaves thought to be caused by a virus. We have tested our plants for all known horticultural viruses and all our tests have come back negative. In our greenhouses, the flecking is minor and does not affect the vigor or beauty. From what we have researched, it appears this flecking is in most Philodendron verrucosum cultivars around the world.
