Philodendron 'Joepii' - 12 cm/25-35 cm
The Philodendron ‘Joepii’ is not just rare—it’s a master of survival. Its uniquely bizarre leaf shape, with narrow, seemingly “eaten” bases and exaggerated lobes, isn’t just for show—it’s an evolutionary trick. This plant has adapted to mimic the appearance of being partially devoured, a clever defence mechanism that discourages herbivores from snacking on it. Why waste energy eating a plant that already looks damaged?
This fascinating strategy, combined with its rarity and quirky charm, makes the ‘Joepii’ a true marvel of nature. A plant that’s both a survivor and a showstopper, it thrives in warm, humid environments with bright, indirect light—just give it the care it deserves, and it’ll reward you with its peculiar, one-of-a-kind beauty. 🌿✨
Plant Care
The following aroid mix I would like to share with you is working well for my Philodendrons:
- Potting Soil (30%)
- Orchid Bark (30%)
- Perlite (30%)
- Charcoal (5%)
- Worm Castings (5%)
Water thoroughly when watering to mimic tropical jungle conditions. It is best practice to keep the soil humid but never soggy.
