Philodendron Subhastatum

Add dramatic two-tone contrast to your space with Philodendron subhastatum, a captivating climbing Aroid celebrated for its striking leaf undersides. While the topside displays sleek, glossy dark-green lanceolate foliage, the underside features a brilliant, glossy fiery-red to deep plum hue that flashes vividly as the foliage cascades or climbs.

Why It Belongs in Your Collection:

• Striking Two-Tone Contrast: Long, narrow leaves feature rich emerald-green upper sides paired with vibrant, glossy red-to-burgundy undersides.

• Impressive Maturing Foliage: As it climbs, the leaves transform dramatically from simple spear shapes into large, arrow-shaped foliage with distinct basal lobes.

• Climbing Aroid Habit: Thrives when trained up a moss pole or coir totem, encouraging larger leaf size and bolder underside colouration.

• Toxicity / Pet Safety: Toxic / Irritant. Contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can cause oral irritation, burning, and digestive discomfort if ingested by pets. Keep safely elevated on high shelves or mounted out of reach.
