Philodendron angustilobum
A climbing hemiepiphytic philodendron with deeply and narrowly lobed leaves from the wet lowland forests of southern Central America and western Colombia. It roots in the ground or on trunks and climbs into the understory and lower canopy, where it lives in hot, humid, shaded conditions all year. In cultivation it is regarded as a well-behaved, easy climber that wants warmth, a moss pole and steady moisture.
