Philodendron giganteum

Common Name:

Origin: Caribbean

Height: 8’

Light: Partial sun

Water: Well-drained soil

Comments: As the name suggests, giganteum is a very large philodendron, with individual leaves reaching as much as 3′ across. It is quite adaptable to different light conditions, and like all philodendrons, is quite drought tolerant. Use it to add a tropical look to any landscape. Because of its size, it combines well with other large tropicals, including: Bananas, Heliconias, Gingers, and Cordylines.
