Philodendron gigas is a rare and striking tropical climber native to Panama, admired for its dramatic, velvety foliage. Its elongated, heart-shaped leaves emerge in a coppery bronze before maturing into a deep, dark green with a subtle metallic sheen. Over time, the leaves can grow impressively large, giving the plant a bold, luxurious presence. As an epiphytic species, it thrives when allowed to climb—making a moss pole or other support the perfect companion. With its rich color transitions and impressive scale, Philodendron gigas stands out as a showpiece in any indoor plant collection.
What Makes It Special:
✔Massive foliage – Leaves can grow several feet long, creating a bold, tropical statement.
✔ Effortless & Care – Philodendron gigas requires moderate care, thriving with bright indirect light, consistent moisture, high humidity, and a climbing support.
✔ Expertly Repotted – Pre-potted in our premium 5-component soil blend for healthy roots and balanced hydration.
✔ Locally Grown & Acclimated – Stronger, healthier, and already adjusted to your home environment for faster growth.

Care Guide
Light: :Bright, indirect light is best; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the velvety leaves.
Water: Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy; allow the top inch to dry between waterings.
Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining mix (orchid bark, perlite, peat) to keep roots healthy.
Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions (65–85°F / 18–29°C); protect from cold drafts.
Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60%+); misting or a humidifier helps maintain lush growth.
Fertilizer: Fertilize monthly in the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to half strength.
Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years to refresh soil and give roots more space.
Growth & Training: Provide a moss pole or sturdy support so it can climb and develop its signature giant leaves.
Safety: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach.
