Philodendron Caramel Pluto

Philodendron ‘Caramel Pluto’ is a colourful and pleasantly exotic houseplant, perfect for adding a tropical touch to your decor. Its broad, wavy leaves, with shades of caramel and deep green, are a real eye-catcher. Place it in a bright spot without direct sunlight to enhance its colours. It is easy to care for if its needs are met: bright light without direct sun, good ambient humidity, and temperatures between 20 to 25°C.

Philodendron ‘Caramel Pluto’ (Thaumatophyllum stenolobum 'Caramel Pluto') belongs to the Araceae family. This variety is a horticultural cultivar originating from the tropical forests of South America, where Philodendrons and other closely related genera thrive in a warm and humid climate, under the shade of tall trees. It has an upright, slightly spreading habit, reaching 60 to 90 cm in height and 50 to 80 cm in width at maturity. This is a tropical perennial with evergreen foliage, grown in pots indoors in our climate. Its long leaves, with wavy edges and broad saw-toothed margins, have a smooth and glossy texture, displaying hues ranging from golden caramel when they emerge to deep green, even turning brown at maturity. A young plant will develop V-shaped leaves, while mature plants will have saw-toothed edges. Its growth rate is moderate to fast, depending on growing conditions. Although it rarely flowers indoors, its discreet blooms are spathe-type, typical of the Araceae family. All parts of Philodendron are toxic if ingested by pets or young children.

Philodendron ‘Caramel Pluto’ is perfect for decorating a bright living room, a well-lit hallway, or even an office. Pair it with an Aglaonema 'Silver Bay', with its broad, silvery-green leaves, or an Epipremnum aureum 'Neon', with its vibrant yellow foliage, for beautiful contrasts!
