Philodendron splendid

Philodendron ‘Splendid’ is an exceptional collector hybrid prized for its large, velvety foliage and bold contrasting venation. Combining the distinctive characteristics of Philodendron verrucosum and Philodendron melanochrysum, it produces beautifully heart-shaped leaves with a rich, luxurious texture.

New foliage often emerges in warm bronze tones before gradually hardening to deep green. As the plant matures and climbs, the leaves become increasingly elongated and impressive, allowing the prominent pale veins and velvety finish to make an even stronger impact.

A sturdy moss pole or other vertical support encourages stronger growth and larger, more mature foliage. Dramatic yet rewarding to grow, ‘Splendid’ is an excellent choice for collectors looking for a climbing Philodendron with exceptional texture and presence.
