Philodendron, Meconostigma & Pteromischum<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Philodendron is a large genus of flowering plants. The name derives from the Greek words philo- 'love, affection' and dendron 'tree'. The generic name, Philodendron, is often used as the English name.<\/p>\n

The leaves are usually large and imposing, often lobed or deeply cut, and may be more or less branched in pairs. They can also be oval, spear-shaped, divided or in many other possible shape variations. The leaves are borne alternately on the stem. A quality of philodendrons is that they do not have a single type of leaf on the same plant. Instead, they have juvenile leaves and adult leaves, which can be drastically different from one another.<\/p>\n

They also have both aerial and subterranean roots. The aerial roots occur in many shapes and sizes. The number of roots per node depends on the presence of a suitable substrate for the roots to attach themselves. Aerial roots serve two primary purposes. They allow the philodendron to attach itself to a tree or other plant, and they allow it to collect water and nutrients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

PLEASE NOTE: These plants can be Toxic.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
