Philodendron Applanatum

The petioles of Philodendron applanatum are uniquely shaped, they are completely flat! These weirdly looking petioles hold up trilobed leaves, the leaves can become fairly large in size, they can grow up to 20cm or even 40cm in length. In this way Philodendron applanatum will create a nice and bright green foliage. The leaves are coloured bright green and have clearly visible veining, around the veining some leaves will have a soft yellow glow. Philodendron applanatum is a really rare Philodenron, you have to strike it lucky to find this plant for sale somewhere. Philodendron applanatum is native to the tropics of Peru. Araflora advises to place Philodendron applanatum at a spot out of reach from little children and pets, since the plant is toxic when ingested.
