Philodendron peltatum sports heart shaped, pillowy leaves that are pure green. As this species matures the leaves get quite large and showy. This species is closely related to Philodendron pastazanum, but it is not the same plant.

Philodendron peltatum grows along the top of the soil with a terrestrial growth habit, similar to Philodendron gloriosum.

Philodendron peltatum care:

This Philodendron plant prefers a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Allow the soil to dry out almost completely between watering as this particular plant does not like to sit in excess water. Provide your plant with bright indirect light and it’ll be very happy!
