Philodendron tortum is a rare and highly sought-after species of Philodendron known for its unique, deeply lobed, and narrow leaves that give it a delicate, almost skeletal appearance. Native to the rainforests of South America, particularly Brazil, it thrives in warm, humid environments with well-draining soil and indirect light.

 

This species is an epiphytic climber, meaning it naturally grows on trees, using aerial roots to support itself. In cultivation, it benefits from a moss pole or other structure to climb. Like most Philodendrons, it prefers high humidity, moderate watering, and temperatures between 18–30°C. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so well-aerated soil is essential.

 

Philodendron tortum is prized among collectors for its unusual foliage, which sets it apart from other Philodendrons with broader leaves. It is relatively slow-growing but can become quite large when mature. Propagation is typically done through stem cuttings, which root well in water or moist substrate.

    We always choose overnight or express shipping options. Once shipped, most orders arrive in 1-2 days in Canada and the USA. Depending on your location, shipping might take longer. Occassionally, customs clearance might take an additional day.

    We ship orders from our store or specialized grow facility in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

    Do I recieve a tracking number?

    A tracking number will be emailed to you once your order has shipped. You can also find your order and tracking information under your account.

    What's the process to return an item if I decide I don'twant it?

    We will gladly accept returns for a refund, provided the items and plants have not been damaged, propogated, or repotted. Returned plants are subject to a 10% restocking fee, due to the recovery care needed for returned plants, and shipping/permit costs are nonrefundable. Customers are responsible for return shipping costs as well as all paperwork required to ship back to Canada (e.g. phytosanitary certificates).
