This is a spectacular, well-developed Philodendron ‘Splendid’ with exceptional scale and presence. Standing approximately 90 cm tall, it carries multiple large velvet leaves, with the largest measuring approximately 45 cm long by 35 cm wide.
The mature foliage displays the deep green colouring, prominent venation and rich velvety texture that collectors seek in this hybrid. A newer leaf is still developing its mature colour, adding warm bronze tones among the established foliage.
The plant is also currently developing four inflorescences, an impressive indication of its maturity and established growth. This is a substantial collector specimen that already makes an immediate impact and will become even more impressive as it continues to develop.
