Philodendron ‘Narrow’ in Terra Cotta Omar

Origin
The Philodendron 'Narrow', sometimes also known as the 'Tiger Tooth', originally comes from the tropical regions of South America. This species of plant is part of the Araceae family. Its natural habitat is tropical forests, where it primarily grows at the bases of large trees.

Characteristics
The Philodendron 'Narrow' is characterised by its long, narrow leaves which are a deep green colour. These leaves can grow up to 90cm long and have a leathery texture. This species of plant is a climber and it will grow upwards when provided with a moss pole or similar support. Furthermore, the plant produces unremarkable flowers.

Care
The care for this Philodendron is relatively simple. The plant prefers a location with light to partial shade. Direct sunlight is discouraged as this can cause leaf burn. The plant requires regular watering, but it's important to ensure that the soil can dry in between waterings to prevent root rot. Lastly, the plant thrives best at regular room temperature and high humidity, akin to its tropical origin. If the air in your room feels dry to touch your plant will benefit from regularly spraying and misting the leaves.
