Philodendron Esqueleto - 10"

Philodendron Esqueleto – 10"

A rare, show-stopping aroid prized for its dramatic “skeleton-like” foliage and high-impact tropical presence. Philodendron Esqueleto produces large, elongated leaves with bold fenestrations that create an airy, sculptural look—perfect for collectors and design-forward spaces. As it matures and climbs, the leaf size and cutouts become even more impressive, turning this plant into a living statement piece.

Key Features

• Rare collector Philodendron with dramatic, open “skeleton” fenestrations
• Large, elongated leaves that become more striking as the plant matures
• Climbing growth habit—ideal for a moss pole or trellis support
• Instantly elevates interiors with a lush, tropical, statement-making silhouette

Plant Care Instructions

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid harsh direct sun which can scorch leaves. Lower light slows growth and reduces fenestration.
• Water: Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil is dry; soak thoroughly and let excess drain. Consistently soggy soil can cause root issues.
• Soil: Use a chunky, well-aerated aroid mix (potting soil + orchid bark + perlite/pumice) to support healthy roots.
• Humidity: Thrives in higher humidity (50–70%+); a humidifier or grouped plants help maintain leaf quality and growth.
• Temperature: Best between 18–29°C; protect from cold drafts and keep above 15°C.
• Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer at half strength; reduce feeding in winter.
• Support: Provide a moss pole or trellis—climbing encourages larger leaves and stronger fenestrations.
• Maintenance: Wipe leaves gently to keep pores clear and improve photosynthesis; rotate the pot for even growth.
• Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots circle the pot; size up 2–5 cm and ensure excellent drainage.

Note: Plant pot may vary in design from the product image. Most plants come with a one-time-use plastic grower pot.
