Philodendron campii

Description

Philodendron campii - Large

The Philodendron campii 'Lynette' is a unique and sought-after plant that may be difficult to find in stores. With its ribbed narrow leaves and wide fan shape, this self-heading philodendron creates a dramatic appearance. While it has a more compact climbing growth than other philodendrons, it has the potential to grow quite large over time. The 'Lynette' is a cultivar of the native-to-Brazil Philodendron campii.

Philodendrons possess aerial roots that adhere to tree bark, which enables them to reach heights exceeding 20 feet. As they ascend, their leaves undergo a transformation in shape and can even surpass the size of a dinner plate.

Ensure the plant is placed in a semi-shady area with no direct sunlight exposure. Water approximately once a week, while allowing the top half of the soil to dry out in between. Keep the leaves clean with a microfibre cloth, as this plant is sensitive to dust.
