Every leaf is completely unique, making each plant a one-of-a-kind addition to any indoor plant collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis naturally climbing species originates from the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, where it grows up trees using aerial roots. When provided with a moss pole or other climbing support, it produces larger, more mature foliage and develops into an impressive vertical feature. It can also be grown as a trailing plant from a shelf or hanging planter, although climbing encourages the best leaf size and overall growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as being incredibly attractive, Variegated Philodendron hederaceum is relatively easy to care for, making it suitable for beginners looking to own a more unusual variegated houseplant.
