About this plant
Philodendron Verrucosum suits indoor spots with bright, indirect light, no direct sun. Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats, dogs and horses, so keep it away from pets.
Needs bright, indirect light and humid air, away from AC vents, for its velvety dark heart-shaped leaves, pale veins and fuzzy red stems.
Philodendron verrucosum is a climbing species from the cloud forests of Ecuador, Colombia and Central America. It has large, velvety, heart-shaped leaves in dark green with pale lime veins and reddish undersides, on stems covered in fuzzy red-green hairs.
In Dubai it is one of the more demanding philodendrons, mainly because it likes high humidity. AC-dried air quickly causes crispy leaf edges and stuck new leaves, so it does best with a humidifier, in a cabinet or on a pebble tray, away from vents. It wants bright, indirect light and no direct sun. Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy, using an airy mix.
It suits plant collectors and works in humid plant corners, bright bathrooms and indoor greenhouse cabinets. We offer it at around 20 to 30 cm, in a nursery pot or a ceramic pot.

Care guide for Dubai homes
How to keep Philodendron Verrucosum healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light; no direct sun. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 5–7 days in summer, keeping soil lightly moist; every 7–10 days 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: Very airy aroid mix with bark, perlite and sphagnum moss. Feeding: Balanced liquid feed at quarter strength every 3 to 4 weeks from spring to autumn. Common mistake: Keeping it in dry AC air, which crisps leaf edges and makes new leaves get stuck. Where it works: Humid plant corners, bright bathrooms and indoor greenhouse cabinets.
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.).
