About Philodendron gigas Croat.
Philodendron gigas is a hemiepiphyte native to the lowland rainforests of Panama. It produces enormous, elongated, cordate leaves with a deep, velvety, dark green texture. As a climbing species, it needs consistent warmth, high humidity, and a sturdy support structure to anchor its aerial roots. Its large leaf size makes it a prominent specimen within a collection.
