About the Philodendron
One of the easiest to grow, tropical foliage plant families. They come in a diversity of sizes, shapes, colors and habits from trailing heart-leaf types, upright to climbing red-leaf and large, lobed or P. selloum. Use in hanging baskets, trailing from shelves or on plant stands. Larger varieties make wonderful floor plants. Note: Monstera spp. is a relative of Philodendron with similar care requirements, but they are classified as separate genus and often combined or confused.
