Philodendron verrucosum – The Velvet King with a Furry Flair
 
Philodendron verrucosum is pure rainforest royalty. With its deep green, heart-shaped velvet leaves, electric lime veining, and striking red undersides, this climber brings drama, luxury, and a whole lot of texture to your collection.
 
But it doesn’t stop at the foliage — this plant’s fuzzy, bristly petioles (yes, the stems) are covered in soft hairs that make it look like it’s wearing jungle socks. The contrast between the plush leaves and the velvety red undersides is chef’s kissfor any aroid addict.
 
 
Why This Plant Is a Must-Have:
 
 Velvety, heart-shaped leaves – Deep green with bold lime veins
 Red-purple undersides – Total contrast stunner
 Fuzzy, verrucose petioles – Weird, wild, and wonderful
 Rare and collector-coveted – High on every wish list
 Climber with elegance – Grows tall and lush on a moss pole
 
 
Give it bright, indirect light, high humidity (60%+ is ideal), and a chunky aroid mix with good airflow. Keep it warm and slightly moist — this one likes consistency, but once it settles, it’s unstoppable.
 
Limited stock – Philodendron verrucosum is a velvet-covered flex with jungle attitude. If you love dramatic foliage, this is the one.
