This is a hybrid climbing Philodendron, with exciting leaves. BGB is a fancy name meaning Big Glorious Bastard (with a mix of references to its hybrid origin,to its P. gloriosum parent and to the movie "Inglorious bastards" It is a cross of Philodendron gloriosum and Philodendron giganteum. Giganteum gave the climbing habit, the rubbery leaf texture and resistance to dry air. Gloriosum gave a more ornamental touch with showy veins and margins. This plant will grow well on a totem or a wall. The cross was developed by Chris Hall and Ardean Dearden in their garden and nursery in Cairns, Australia
