The stunning rare Philodendron atabapoense is a tropical plant from the Araceae family native to South America. It has a climbing habit so adding a moss-pole when it starts to grow will help support healthy growth. It has large green spear shaped leaves that elongate downwards and when mature these leaves can reach several feet! The undersides are a deep maroon and has long petioles. This would make a wonderful addition to any plant collection.

RATING- Easy

LOVES- Place in a semi-shady position away from direct sunlight. Water roughly once a week but allow the soil to dry out a little in-between.

HATES- Dust, keep leaves clean with a damp microfibre cloth. Can tolerate dry air but mist occasionally to increase the air humidity.
