PHILODENDRON is a large genus of Tropical flowering plants, Aroids, belonging to the Araceae family, and are the second-largest group after Anthurium. They are native to the tropical rainforests & Jungles of Central and South America & the West Indies. The name Philodendron is derived from the Greek words philo- or "love, affection" and dendron or "tree" describing their love to climb trees.

Philodendron can be broadly divided into Crawling, Climbing or Rosette type varieties, often starting out as compact plants, but as they grow and mature, many develop vining stems with aerial roots for climbing.

The genus is incredibly diverse and depending on species and maturity of the plant, the shape, size, and texture of the leaves can vary considerably. In addition, they exhibit variable leaf morphology having juvenile and adult leaves, which can be drastically different from one another.

PHILODENDRON are not just beautiful plants that can enhance any space, they are on the list of NASA approved ‘Air Purifiers` having the ability to cleanse the Air we breathe and absorb harmful pollutants into their leaves.
