Philodendron warszewiczii
A large philodendron with deeply cut, lacy leaves from the seasonally dry forests of western and southern Mexico and Central America. It grows in soil, on rocks or on trees, and may shed its leaves in the dry season. Unlike most philodendrons, it wants bright light, a warm wet summer and a drier winter rest.
Where it grows wild
Seasonally dry tropical forest, including lowland deciduous forest in Jalisco and Sinaloa and dry forest on weathered schist in Nicaragua, with occasional records from humid evergreen forest in Chiapas. It grows as a climber in soil, over rocks, or as an epiphyte on trees.
Wikipedia gives 300–1,900 m. Herbarium records seen range from about 100 m (Chamela, Jalisco) to about 900 m (Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua).
