Philodendron tortum is an epiphytic climber, found in a wide part of Amazonia, always up on tree trunks. It stands out in collections because its leaf blades are deeply pinnatifid, "skeleton-like", glossy dark green above, and pale green below, with a remarkable midrib. It does not climb fast and in cultivation easily stays bushy. Yes it is from Amazonia, but it does well outdoors in our winter when night temperatures stay around +10 to +12 C.
