About

Philodendron distantilobum is a remarkable climbing species native to the Amazonian rainforests of Brazil and Peru. It is famous for its deeply lobed, pinnatisect leaves that resemble a claw or ribs. The lobes are narrow and widely separated (hence 'distantilobum'). It is a vigorous climber that attaches to supports using aerial roots. The mature plant is highly architectural and forms a stunning silhouette. It is easy to care for under standard tropical conditions.
