Philodendron esmeraldense is known for its long, heart-shaped and deep green leaves that have a luxurious and velvety texture.

This rare species originates from the deep rainforests of Ecuador, specifically from the province of Esmeraldas – after which the plant gets its name. Philodendron esmeraldense is both a collector's item and a robust plant that can climb plant supports or walls, making it an impressive interior detail.

Care: Plant it in a well-drained soil mixture consisting of orchid bark, perlite and sphagnum, e.g. our Aroid soil , to mimic its natural habitat. Place it in light to partial shade. Water regularly, but allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
