• Botanical Name: Philodendron ‘tortum’
  

• Common Names: Tortum

• Description: The Philodendron Tortum is relatively new to the plant world! This thin, spindly plant can be found on the forest floors of Brazil, so they love dappled, indirect light, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Water when the first 3-4″ of soil is dry. Add water slowly and thoroughly enough to see liquid draining from the bottom of the pot.
