Description
Philodendron lupinum is a newly described species, and if you had told me of the transformation that this gorgeous Philodendron makes as it matures, I wouldn’t have believed you. Of all the aroids that change as they mature, this one has to take the cake. Looking like a tiny velvet climber with crimson backs when young, this beauty comepletely changes into a fabulous rippled Philodendron with top lobes! This is a very rare plant, and I almost never have this one available. The plants we have available at this time are still in the velvety, immature stage. Leaves are about 1-2″ and it is climbing about 5″ up a stake, similar to the plant in the second image. The first image shows a mature plant.
