Philodendron deflexum

Philodendron deflexum is a distinctive climbing aroid distinguished by its unique deflexed (downward-curving) leaf petioles and elongated, narrow leaves with prominent venation.

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can damage the delicate foliage. East or north-facing windows work well.
• Temperature: Warm temperatures between 18-26°C (65-79°F). Protect from cold drafts and temperature fluctuations.
• Humidity: High humidity levels of 60-80%. Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or group with other plants.
• Watering: Water when top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry. Maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging.

Additional Notes:

Benefits from a moss pole or support structure to encourage climbing and proper leaf development. Regular feeding during growing season promotes healthy growth. Its an ideal choice for collectors seeking rare philodendrons with unique features.
