Philodendron sagittifolium

This is an old classic climbing Philodendron with quintessentially exotic leaves and a remarkable cold tolerance. It is a variable species with many forms, selections and also hybrids. This clone we offer is an old "traditional" form, possibly one of the earliest wild ones taken to Europe. The pre-adult stage has very beautiful leaves: flat, arrow-triangular, often olive- or  jade- coloured. For more than 50 years, this clone has been grown outdoors in Sicily and Southern Italy with no protection.

The species is morphologically variable and ecologically versatile, widespread in Central America to Northern South America in tropical forests and pre-mountainous wet rain forests.
