Philodendron 'Lavinia' (Paloraense cf. × Tortum)
Philodendron sp. cf. paloraense × Philodendron tortum
A hybrid combining Philodendron cf. paloraense — the rare Ecuadorian species with elongated, serrated leaves and a silvery-blue cast — with Philodendron tortum, the Amazonian species known for its radically dissected, skeletal, feather-like leaves. The cross pairs the deeply divided leaf architecture of tortum with the elongated, silvery character of the paloraense parent, producing finely cut, multi-segmented leaves. A climber that develops larger, more dramatically dissected leaves with vertical support. Individual seedling expression varies.
-
Light: Bright indirect light supports the most vigorous growth and most deeply dissected leaves; avoid direct harsh sun which scorches the foliage.
-
Soil: Very open, chunky aroid mix of orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir; the fine dissected leaf structure is correlated with sensitivity to root rot — excellent drainage essential. Never waterlogged.
-
Temperature/Humidity: Warm temperatures between 65-82°F; humidity of 60-80% supports the cleanest leaf emergence and most vigorous growth.
-
Watering: Allow the top 2" of medium to approach dryness between waterings; water thoroughly and drain completely. Never waterlog.
-
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4 weeks during active growth; supplement with calcium and magnesium for best leaf quality. Reduce in winter.

Customers praised this philodendron as "beautiful" and "gorgeous" with healthy, lush foliage. Plants arrived in "perfect condition" with secure packaging. One customer noted excellent service when a frozen plant was replaced. New leaves emerge beautifully. Some shoppers were nervous ordering plants online but were impressed.
The plants arrived super fast. Looking very healthy and lush!
As shown love her thank youu
Seller truly impressed me with their customer service. I ordered this plant before the snow storm & didn’t purchase insulation (I wasn’t aware of the storm the day of purchase & have ordered many plants over the years during winter w/o insulation) I didn’t realize until many days later that the seller had messaged me advising me to update my package with insulation or 3 day shipping. Fast forward to getting my plant, it came dead. Frozen to the bits, poor thing. I messaged the seller, owning up to my mistake and asking for a replacement (obviously willing to pay for 3 day shipping myself) but the seller went above and beyond, paying for a 3-day label themselves, waiting the cold out and sending me my package in pristine condition. I 100% will shop here again, I’m beyond impressed. I can’t thank you enough!
The plants were packaged and arrived in perfect condition. I am very nervous about the paloraense cf x tortum because of being “newish” to the plant world!
Another gorgeous plant.
The best crosses when it comes to philodendrons.
Beautiful healthy plant as seen in item photos. Very securely packed with care. 5 star seller
Was really nervous ordering plants online but I have ordered multiple from this seller and they are the best!
Great plant, arrived in excellent condition.
The plant was very safely boxed and arrived in great health. It has popped out about 4 new leaves with a fifth on the way. Every new leaf is even more gorgeous than the previous! It is rare that I find a plant shop that I want to make a second purchase from. This is one of those rare few!
Beautiful plant. Was very excited and not disappointed!! Great seller!
Beautiful plant arrived in perfect condition.
So happy with my new plants!
