This striking philodendron stands out due to the unusual shape of its leaves. The scientific name, meaning 'fringed' points to the distinctive 'pinnate' formation of the leaves. Basically, this means it has lots of wibbly, finger-like bits round the edges - but stay with me, it really suits the plant! These bright green leaves can grow to be huge, and the plant with them to support leaves like fringed dinner plates. In the wild, Philodendrons climb up trees, but so far this one is strong enough to support itself standing, with an explosion of foliage as each leaf grows outwards from the central stem. Like loads of jazz hands. But green and funky. Give this one a place in your home with bright light but not too much sun, and don't forget to water it occasionally, and maybe you'll get even bigger leaves as it grows and thrives in your care. **Scientific Name** Philodendron lacerum (fringed tree-hugger) **Common Name** Toothed Philodendron **Origin** This Philodendron is found wild in the
