Philodendron imbe

The Philodendron imbe is a rare variety. It is a fairly fast growing plant that can produce stems extending to nearly 16 feet (5 m.). The large, glossy, green leaves are quite leathery and have a cordate-sagittate shape. Stems dropping from hanging baskets or climbing on trellises or wrapping around stakes will give a truly exotic look to your decor. This philodendron is not fussy about lighting. It can handle bright, indirect light as well as low light. That said, if the leaves are getting smaller and the stems lack vigor, it's a sign that it's not enough.
