Philodendron Velvet
Best trailing houseplant for indoor gardeners seeking unique, tactile foliage.
This vining beauty brings a rare, tactile luxury to your shelves with its bronze-hued, velvet-soft foliage. It trades the glossy, uniform look of standard houseplants for a moody, sophisticated texture that demands to be touched, though its trailing stems require a bit of regular pruning to keep their shape.
