THE PLANT SOCIETY Phildoendron Gigas Giant

The Philodendron Gigas is a rare plant with very large velvet-like leaves. Like all Philodendron, it needs a bright non direct light and should be allowed to dry somewhat between watering.

Under the right circumstances, the philodendron gigas can climb to reach 8-10 feet in height. Leaves can also grow to become quite sizable, some reaching well over 3 feet in length.

Because the plant has a climbing growth pattern, it requires some sort of support structure so it can grow upwards without problems.
