Philodendron Gigas - Bare Root

Bare root means the plant is shipped without soil or a pot, with its roots exposed. You will need to have a well-aerated potting mix and a container ready to plant it immediately upon arrival.

As a vining plant, it will grow much more vigorously and produce larger, more mature leaves if given a moss pole or trellis to climb. Providing vertical support mimics its natural environment and encourages its signature growth habit.

You can increase humidity by placing the plant near a humidifier, grouping it with other tropical plants, or using a pebble tray. While it prefers high humidity, it can adapt to moderate indoor levels if kept away from drafts and heating vents.

Yes, it is considered an easy-care plant. As long as you provide bright, indirect light and consistent moisture without letting it sit in water, it is a straightforward and rewarding addition to your collection.

While it starts as a juvenile, this plant can eventually reach up to 10 feet tall. Because it is a vining species, it is best suited for a spot where it has room to grow vertically, such as against a tall wall or in a corner with a sturdy support structure.
