About Anthurium podophyllum
Anthurium podophyllum produces deeply divided, palmate-lobed leaves reminiscent of the larger Anthurium clavigerum but at a considerably more manageable size, making it a popular introduction to the dissected-leaf Anthurium species for collectors without space for a mature clavigerum. Juvenile leaves start simple and undivided, developing the characteristic multi-lobed shape as the plant matures.
