Philodendron atabapoense With its long, narrow leaves and dramatic two-tone coloring, Philodendron atabapoense is one of the most elegant climbing philodendrons in cultivation. Mat ure foliage is deep green with a striking burgundy underside, creating a beautiful contrast as the leaves sway and climb. Given the right support, each new leaf emerges larger than the last, making this species an impressive statement plant over time. Native to the tropical forests of South America, P. atabapoense thrives in bright, indirect light and appreciates a chunky, well-draining aroid mix. Provide a moss pole or sturdy support to encourage larger foliage and vigorous growth. Allow the top inch or two of the potting mix to dry slightly between waterings, and maintain moderate to high humidity for best results. A favorite among collectors, Philodendron atabapoense combines graceful form, rich color, and relatively easy care, making it an exceptional addition to any indoor plant collection. Show more
