Notes
Philodendron (Philodendron squamiferum) is a houseplant for containers and low maintenance indoor spaces. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It is evergreen, so it keeps its leaves all year. It can grow quite tall, between 122 and 181 inches.
Pairs well with Global Green pothos, Boston fern, and Polka dot begonia.
