About this plant
Philodendron pedatum is a climbing species from Venezuela and Brazil, sometimes called the oak leaf philodendron. Its glossy green leaves are deeply cut into several narrow lobes, giving a lacy, layered look as the plant climbs a support.
It grows well in Dubai interiors with bright, indirect light. It handles air conditioning and is less fussy than many lobed philodendrons, though very dry air near AC vents can brown leaf edges. Direct summer sun through glass scorches the leaves. A sturdy moss pole helps it keep climbing and producing larger, more lobed leaves. Let the top few centimeters of soil dry between waterings.
At this size it works as a tall statement plant in living rooms, office receptions, hotel lobbies and double-height spaces. We offer it at around 170 cm, in a nursery pot or a designer pot.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Philodendron Pedatum healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light; tolerates medium light. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 7–10 days in summer when the top 3–4 cm is dry; every 2 weeks in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: Chunky aroid mix with bark and perlite in a heavy pot for stability. Feeding: Balanced liquid feed at half strength once a month from spring to autumn. Common mistake: Removing or skipping the support, which makes the tall stems flop. Where it works: Living rooms, office receptions, hotel lobbies and double-height spaces.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats, dogs and horses (insoluble calcium oxalates; can cause oral irritation, pain and swelling of the mouth, tongue and lips, drooling, vomiting (not horses) and difficulty swallowing; listed under Philodendron spp.).

Is it toxic to pets?
