This unique plant is celebrated for its deeply lobed, spindly leaves that resemble a skeleton or spider legs, giving it a dramatic and eye-catching appearance. The finely dissected foliage creates a delicate, almost ethereal look, making it a standout addition to any plant collection.

The Tortum is a climbing philodendron, perfect for training on a trellis or allowing to cascade from a hanging basket. Its unusual leaf shape and dynamic growth habit make it a favorite among plant enthusiasts and collectors.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can reduce the vibrancy of the colors.

• Humidity: Thrives in higher humidity environments. Consider using a humidity tray or humidifier.
• Temperature: Maintain a warm environment, ideally between 65-80°F (18-27°C).
• Fertilization: Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.

• Common Names: Tortum

• Description: The Philodendron Tortum is relatively new to the plant world! This thin, spindly plant can be found on the forest floors of Brazil, so they love dappled, indirect light, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Water when the first 3-4" of soil is dry. Add water slowly and thoroughly enough to see liquid draining from the bottom of the pot.
