PHILODENDRON RUGAPETIOLATUM, Species, Very RARE, Aroid Plant
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:8190342 |
The name's a tongue-twister, but no matter how you pronounce it, Philodendron rugapetiolatum is one of those plants you don't want to miss. Described just a few years ago, this slow-growing species has light green leaves with washboard ridges and a dark, ribbed petiole that inspired the species name. Because it's so new, this species is still rare in cultivation and not commonly available for sale. The overall appearance is very unusual, and P. rugapeti...olatum will stand out in any plant collection. The petiole becomes increasingly textured as the plant matures, and a well-grown specimen is a sight to behold.Photos of P. rugapetiolatum can be found on David Scherberich's excellent web site athttp://www.aroidpictures.fr/GENERA/PHILODENDRONM-Z/philorugapetiolatum.htmlPhilodendron rugapetiolatum is found in NW Ecuador and SW Colombia, primarily at elevations of 2000-4000 feet. It grows best under intermediate to warm, humid conditions, but can tolerate temperatures into the low 50s during the winter. For me, this species grows well in a potting mix that holds moisture but also provides good drainage. I use loosely-packed sphagnum moss with good results.
