Philodendron Atabapoense

Here’s a handsome philodendron that exudes rainforest splendor with its elongated, pendulous leaves of rich green–Prismacolor ‘Atabapoense’. Named after the Atabapo River in Venezuela, where it grows natively in the understory of humid rainforests, ‘Atabapoense’ thrives in a lower light, higher humidity environment. Its leaves are deeply lobed near the stems and arrowhead-shaped. What makes them truly intriguing, however, are their maroon undersides.
