Philodendron 69686

We really like this horse-head philodendron! Its name, which was inspired by its accession number at the Missouri Botanical Gardens and not by an Illinois zip code, came about after it was initially believed to be a Philodendron Joepii. The leaf blades become longer and more hourglass-shaped as they age, eventually reaching a length of almost two feet! They favor moist, well-draining soil and indirect light that is moderate to brilliant. Throughout the growing season, remember to give your 69686 fish fertilizer and worm castings!
