The leaves' deep lobes and narrow shape distinguish it from many other philodendron species and make it instantly recognizable. It grows naturally as a climbing epiphyte on tree trunks, where it takes advantage of the high humidity levels and diffused light of the dense forest vegetation. Philodendron sharoniae is a fast-growing climber that develops long tendrils if supported, making it very suitable for plant supports .
