GENERAL INFORMATION

  • Philodendron squamiferum is a terrific, rare species from tropical rain forests in South America.
  • The vine is unusual for its long, red stems that are covered with soft, fuzzy red hairs!
  • The plant also has distinctively shaped leaves with 5 lobes.
  • The attractive foliage is glossy and grows from 12 to 18 inches long.

SOIL REQUIREMENT

  • A nice mixture for a Philodendron squamiferum would contain a moisture-retaining element (like sphagnum moss or coco coir) as well as bits with a larger particle size to allow excess water to escape, like perlite. You can also add some pine bark fines (partially composted pine bark).
