Philodendron ruizii

A gorgeous climbing Aroid native to areas of western South America, Philodendron ruizii isn’t commonly seen in North American homes, particularly at a large, nearly mature size like this. It was officially published back in 1854 and was named for Spanish botanist Hipólito Ruiz López.

For the happiest plant, give it a spot with medium to bright light (within 3 feet away from a good-sized east or west window is ideal). It tolerates lower light levels but will be significantly slower growing. Water it as the top half or so if the potting mix dries to the touch. Take care not to overwater; if in doubt, it’s better to keep this plant too dry than too wet. Average household temperatures and humidity levels are fine for this low-maintenance climbing houseplant (though it does appreciate above-average relative humidity).

Note: This plant may have some natural degree of toxicity and may cause discomfort or illness if ingested. Additionally, exposure to the sap of this plant may cause discomfort to individuals with a sensitivity to it upon contact. Grown for ornamental purposes and not intended for human or animal consumption.
