Quirky and sculptural, this philodendron stands out with its thick, swollen petioles (leaf stems) that look like they’ve been inflated, holding up glossy, elongated green leaves like a botanical trophy. It’s a real conversation starter for plant lovers who enjoy something a little out of the ordinary.
It thrives in bright, indirect light and loves warm, humid conditions, with well-draining soil that’s kept lightly moist. While undeniably unique, it’s toxic to pets and reptiles if ingested, so give it a display spot that’s strictly for looking, not snacking.
