About Philodendron verrucosum L.Mathieu ex Schott

Philodendron verrucosum is a hemiepiphytic aroid native to the wet tropical forests stretching from Costa Rica through to Peru. It has broad, heart-shaped leaves with a deep-green velvety texture and prominent pale venation. The species is identified by its densely bristled or scaly petioles. As a climbing aroid, it grows in warm, humid understory conditions, typically ascending trees in its natural habitat using aerial roots.

Native Range

Costa Rica

Field Notes · Vol. 11 August 2023

Warted and Velvety from the Andes

Philodendron verrucosum is named for the warty petioles covered in distinctive glandular trichomes that catch light and give the stems a rough, bristled quality. The leaves are velvety — soft, light-catching, with the subtle sheen of the velvet Philodendron group — and produced on hairy petioles. From Costa Rica to Peru along the Andean foothills. At accessible price tier, which is an undervaluation: a velvety-leaved Philodendron with hairy petioles at single-tier pricing is good value by any measure. Grow it with the humidity it wants.
