Philodendron squamiferum is a unique and eye-catching aroid known for its deeply lobed leaves and fuzzy, red-haired stems (called petioles). Those bristly stems are what really set it apart—they give the plant a slightly wild look and plenty of character. It prefers bright, indirect light and a warm, humid environment to really thrive. Water it when the top of the soil feels dry, and make sure it’s in a well-draining mix to avoid soggy roots.
This philodendron is a great choice if you're looking for something a little different but still easy to care for. It grows as a climber, so giving it a moss pole or support will help it stretch out and show off its leaves. It's generally low-fuss but does appreciate regular misting and the occasional feed during spring and summer. With the right setup, Philodendron squamiferum makes a bold, jungle-like addition to any indoor plant collection.
