Philodendron Tortum – The Unique Skeleton Leaf Philodendron

The Philodendron Tortum is one of the most unusual and sought-after Philodendrons, known for its deeply lobed, skeletal-like leaves. This plant adds an exotic, architectural touch to any collection with its narrow, twisting foliage.

Exceptional Leaf Structure and Growth Habit

• Features long, slender leaves with deeply cut, almost skeletal lobes
• Grows as a vining climber, benefiting from a support pole
• Develops a lightweight, airy appearance, creating a striking silhouette in any setting

Best Care Practices for a Healthy Plant

• Prefers bright, indirect sunlight, helping it grow sturdy, elongated leaves
• Thrives in well-draining, airy soil, preventing waterlogging
• Requires high humidity (70-85%), replicating its native tropical conditions

Keeping It Safe: Preventing Pests and Growth Issues

• Aphids and scale insects – Regular leaf cleaning with neem oil deters infestations
• Droopy leaves – Ensure proper watering; avoid prolonged dryness or overwatering
• Slow growth or yellowing foliage – Fertilize lightly every 4-6 weeks with a balanced formula
