Variant

Philodendron Narrow, also known as Philodendron 'Narrow Escape' or more commonly as Tiger Tooth Philodendron, is a distinctive and attractive houseplant renowned for its unique, serrated leaves and yellow-tinged stems. This particular Philodendron features long, narrow leaves that come to a point, resembling the shape of a tiger's tooth. The foliage is deep green, with the leaves growing quite densely, creating a lush and vibrant display. This jagged-leaved Philodendron is native to Central America and has a more shrub-like growth habit compared to other climbing species. Its striking form and low maintenance requirements make it a popular choice among houseplant enthusiasts looking to add some tropical flair to their indoor spaces.

Care Guide

How to take care of Philodendron Narrow

Sun: Indirect

Philodendron Narrow 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

Philodendron Narrow will do well in medium light but will grow faster with brighter light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

Philodendron Narrow needs to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: Any

Philodendron Narrow can live in any average home humidity condition and are fairly hardy.

Pet Caution

Philodendron Narrow 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.
