Philodendron Rugosum – The Pigskin Philodendron

The Philodendron Rugosum, commonly known as the Pigskin Philodendron, is a highly unique species known for its thick, textured leaves that resemble the surface of pigskin. This robust and unusual plant thrives in high-humidity environments, making it a prized find for rare plant collectors.

Unparalleled Leaf Texture and Growth Pattern

• Boasts thick, leathery leaves with a bumpy, pigskin-like surface
• Grows in a self-heading, compact form, making it easy to manage indoors
• Exhibits a deep green hue, intensifying with age and proper care

Essential Growing Conditions for a Thriving Plant

• Prefers bright, indirect light, preventing slow or leggy growth
• Requires a well-draining, airy soil mix, ensuring strong root support
• Thrives in high humidity (70%+), mimicking its natural rainforest habitat

Protecting Against Pests and Environmental Stress

• Thrips and mealybugs – Wipe leaves regularly and apply insecticidal soap if needed
• Leaf curling or crisping – Increase humidity with a humidifier or pebble tray
• Root rot prevention – Use a terracotta pot and water only when the topsoil dries
