Philodendron peru is a fast‑growing climbing species admired for its thick, glossy, deeply textured leaves. The foliage has a leathery feel with pronounced venation, giving it a striking architectural look in collections.
Care Guide
- Light: Bright, indirect light; tolerates medium light but grows faster with higher intensity
- Temperature: Warm (70–85°F) with stable conditions
- Humidity: Moderate to high (60%+) for best leaf texture
- Watering: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry before watering; avoid waterlogging
- Substrate: Well‑draining aroid mix (orchid bark, perlite, and peat or coco coir)
- Fertilizer: Balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–4 weeks during active growth
Key Notes
- A vigorous climber; provide a moss pole or support for larger leaves
- Thick, leathery foliage makes it more tolerant of lower humidity than many philodendrons
- Easy to grow and suitable for intermediate collectors
- Shipping stress may cause minor leaf blemishes, but plants typically recover quickly
