Variant

Philodendron Fibraecataphyllum, also known as Philodendron Peru, is an attractive and low-maintenance houseplant native to the rainforests of South America. Its juvenile leaves start as small, heart-shaped foliage, maturing into rippled, back-lobed leaves shaped like the letter T or Y that showcase a minty green colour and a velvety texture. Known as a climber, this plant thrives when given a plank or moss pole to support its growth. With its long, glossy leaves and attractive appearance, Philodendron Fibraecataphyllum is perfect for plant enthusiasts of all skill levels.

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

Care Guide

How to take care of Philodendron Fibraecataphyllum

Sun: Indirect

Philodendron Fibraecataphyllum should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Medium - Bright

Philodendron Fibraecataphyllum will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When top quarter dry

Allow the top quarter of the soil to dry before watering Philodendron Fibraecataphyllum again. This usually takes about 3 - 4 days in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: Medium

Philodendron Fibraecataphyllum will do well in average humidity environments but will appreciate a little bit of humidity if provided, give them a mist daily or get a humidifier.

Pet Caution

Philodendron Fibraecataphyllum is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Plant Story

Introducing the Philodendron fibraecataphyllum, a rare and captivating variety within the vast and diverse Philodendron family. This plant not only enhances any collection with its unique aesthetic but also symbolizes growth, resilience, and the intriguing complexity of the natural world.

The Philodendron fibraecataphyllum is distinguished by its long, slender leaves that can grow impressively large, making it a striking addition to indoor spaces. The leaves are deeply segmented, almost resembling the fibrous texture of some palm species, which adds an exotic and tropical flair to its appearance. This unusual leaf structure allows the plant to catch light and air efficiently, illustrating the ingenious adaptations plants can evolve in response to their environments.

Caring for the Philodendron fibraecataphyllum involves providing it with conditions that reflect its native tropical habitat.

Watering should be consistent, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

The plant’s preference for humidity and moderate soil moisture teaches us the importance of creating and maintaining the right environment for growth and vitality.
