Philodendron scandens originates in the tropical rain forests of Central and South America. An exotic plant that is easy to cultivate, it produces large, green, heart-shaped leaves. Lovers of reptiles and amphibians often use Philodendron scandens to create a natural environment in a terrarium. In the jungle, Philodendron lives as an epiphyte and climber, growing up to 20 metres tall. As a houseplant in the home, it will be considerably smaller. The young plant is heart-shaped and has a pointed end called the drip tip (see “Aroids: plants of the Arum family” by Deni Brown). Depending on how much light the plant receives, its shiny green leaves can turn a glossy yellow colour. Philodendron scandens was first described according to scientific criteria by Koch and Sello.
