Its mature leaves develop long, narrow blades with two smaller lobes near the point where the leaf meets its stalk. Long petioles hold the foliage away from the stem, creating an open, spreading display that gives each leaf room to stand out.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe glossy green foliage brings a bold tropical feel to a plant collection. Young plants can look quite different from established specimens, with the distinctive proportions becoming more apparent as they mature. Watching the leaves change shape is part of the appeal, making this a rewarding choice for collectors who enjoy growing plants through their different stages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGive this philodendron a sturdy support and space for its foliage to spread. A moss pole provides a surface for its aerial roots to attach to and encourages the development of larger, more mature leaves. Its elegant outline makes it particularly effective as a feature plant among broader, rounder foliage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProvide bright, indirect light.
