Philodendron verrucosum 'Green Sapphire' is a rare and highly sought-after cultivar of the classic verrucosum species. It features velvety, heart-shaped leaves with a rich emerald green tone and subtle, shimmering undertones—hence the name "Green Sapphire." Unlike some other verrucosum types, this one tends to have slightly more compact growth and a refined leaf texture, making it a standout in any collection of tropical plants. Its fuzzy petioles and climbing habit add to its exotic charm.
