Philodendron Erubescens Green Emerald

Philodendrons are some of the most exotic and beautiful plants in the tropical world. There are about 400 species of philodendron worldwide, including the Philodendron erubescens, which is native to the Costa Rica and rainforests in South America. P. erubescens is an aggressive climber with long, narrow green leaves with red highlights. These plants are highly valued for their leaves, which feature reddish and colored undersides that form a lovely display as the leaves cascade down a growing surface.

In its native environment, the plant has been known to reach heights of 60 feet and sometimes converts to fully epiphytic growth if its connection with the ground is severed. As a houseplant, however, it’s likely that your plant will remain less than 12 feet in height, and it’s easy to grow
