We are so excited to have gotten our hands on some of these stunning rare plants! They can tolerate low to bright indirect light and they should be allowed to mostly dry out between waterings.
Pot size: 15cm
Please note you may not receive the exact plant pictured, but one of a similar size and condition.

Common Name: Piper Sylvaticum
Scientific Name: Piper sylvaticum
Family: Piperaceae
Origin: Northeast India
Toxic: Toxic to humans and animals.
Soil: Standard potting soil mixed with perlite, or equivalent, for good drainage.
Repotting: It's best to repot at the beginning of Spring when the plant has become rootbound.
Propagation: These are extremely easy to propagate - just make sure your cutting has a node and pop them in damp soil or a jar of water until they root.
Common problems: The vines can become sparse and leggy if they do not receive enough light.
Care Tips: These plants will do fine in just about any space but they’ll really take off in brighter and more humid environments - a bathroom would be perfect!
Fun Fact: These vining philodendrons will grow larger leaves if trained to grow up a moss pole or trellis.
Please note these are general guidelines based on our experience with these plants - care should be altered based on individual home environments.
