Philodendron Variegated Longilobatum * Exact Plant

What's special about this plant: Variegation in the Longilobatum is rare. As the leaves mature, they become ever more elongated and distinctly resemble a dragon’s head. Also known as Philodendron Lelano Miyano, it has distinctive extrafloral nectaries along its petioles. This Variegated Philodendron Longilobatum is the exact plant in a 3 inch pot you will receive.(The white pot is for display purposes only and you will receive the plant in its 3 inch nursery pot.) I will take great care in packaging your plant but be aware that damage can occur in transit. Your plant will come in LECA which are inert clay balls. They have been receiving all their nutrient needs exclusively through liquid fertilization. If you wish to maintain your plant in LECA, research how to grow in “semi-hydro”. However, most growers will want to transfer to an aroid mix such as 1/3 peat, 1/3 perlite, and 1/3 orchid bark or coco coir. When transplanting, the clay balls will fall away with minimal damage to roots. For best results, leave the plant in its peat moss plug and any LECA that adheres to the roots when transplanting. I will respond promptly to any messages or questions you may have. Happy planting!
