Like big leaved climbers? This is a stunning alternative to the better known Cheese plant. Just as easy and in our opinion a bit more special. The leaves ofPhilodendron pedatumcan in the right conditions grow to over a foot long!
The leaf petioles (the stem before the green bit) are a wonderful deep purple and grow upwards to support the ornate star shaped leaves.
Will climb quickly upwards without a huge amount of width, but can be sculpted over time to your desired shape. Eventually it will have a lot of width just because of the enormous leaves! We've seen examples of people adhering the climbing stems to their walls to create their perfect jungle room.

Temperature Not too fussy at all but keep over 10°C especially if the compost is wet.
WateringOver the Spring to mid Autumn water it well, not letting it dry out (the surface should just be slightly dry.) Over the winter make sure not to water too much.
Feeding Will grow very quickly if fed every month or so over the spring/summer. Give it a very very diluted feed once or twice over the winter.
Tips Picking up the plant will let you know how dry/wet the compost is. Water when light leave it if heavy.
Light Level Mid shade. Will not mind a range of light levels but keep away from very bright sunlight.
