Botanical Description
Philodendron tortum comes from the rainforests of South America, from northern Brazil to Bolivia. Philodendron tortum is a species of Philodendron from northern Brazil. It grows as a hemiepiphytic climber in the rainforests there at altitudes between about 50 and 500 meters. Contrary to what is often claimed, P. tortum is not a cultivar of P. bipinnatifidum. Philodendron tortum is an independent species and has been so since 2001.
Appearance.
The distance between the leaves is quite short in this species, especially if it has the ability to climb. The leaves can be up to 60 cm long! It grows climbing or hanging, with long, strong stems. The roots are epiphytic, which means that they naturally grow on other plants without parasitizing.
Philodendron tortum rarely flowers indoors. When it does, it produces small, inconspicuous flowers typical of aroid plants, often surrounded by a white or green spathe.
Care.
To get equally large leaves on your own P. tortum, two things are required: Lots of indirect light , but avoid direct sunlight. A climbing support that the plant can attach its aerial roots to. Only then will it develop the large, spectacular leaves.
P. tortum grows relatively quickly with good care and can form large leaves in a short time.
Well-drained soil, preferably an aroid mix with bark, perlite and sphagnum moss like our aroid soil . Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some shade. Let the soil dry out slightly between waterings. It is sensitive to overwatering but appreciates high humidity.
Cuttings from stems are most common. Cuttings should have at least a couple of leaves and a node for best rooting. Can be rooted in water or directly in soil.
This plant can be used to create an incredibly tropical feel in the home and makes a great conversation piece. Buy Philodendron tortum online!
