Philodendron hebetatum, potted plant

$85.00

Someone gave me a cutting of this plant ten or more years ago, and called it “Columbia Narrow”.  Eventually I grew curious enough to investigate it…took a while, as no one had any of htem for sale, but I finally figured it out!  This plant is a super nice mid size terrarium philodendron.  The dark green leaves typically reach around 8 inches, although I am sure if they had enough time and a larger terrarium they would get larger.

It grows slowly, and is a climber, if you give it some encouragement it will ramble up and across your terrarium back wall, or if you prefer it will grow across the terrarium floor.

Plant for sale is rooted and established in a 2.5 inch pot, in sphagnum moss. Three to four leaves.

Syngonium erythrophyllum is a striking mid-sized vining plant, perfect for adding texture and vibrant color to tropical terrariums and vivariums. Native to Panama, this unique plant, often referred to as “Llano Carti Road” (after the road near its discovery), boasts captivating foliage that makes it a standout addition to any collection.

The leaves of this Syngonium are truly remarkable. With a velvety texture, the upper leaf surfaces display a rich plummy purple hue, while the undersides reveal a vivid red. Depending on your lighting conditions, the top of the leaves may appear as a deep green or even black, adding to its visual intrigue. Unlike many other Syngonium species, the leaves are sturdier and this variety grows more slowly, making it easier to manage in confined spaces like vivariums.

This plant can be allowed to vine and climb the background of your terrarium, or you can trim it back to maintain a more compact, clumping form. Its versatility makes it a great choice for hobbyists looking to create visually dynamic setups.

The plants offered are well-established with approximately three leaves, grown in 2-inch pots. To ensure safe shipping, they will be shipped bare-root. Add this incredible plant to your setup and enjoy its beauty and resilience in a high-humidity environment.
