#philodendron acutatum

[southatlanticwhispers]

Philodendron acutatum is a common yet beautiful foliage from brazilian rainforests. Usually found in the Atlantic Forest, but also the Amazon. Has a red border and leaves can grow in many sagitated shapes. It's a hemiepiphyte herb that once it climbs can produce several aerial roots which were traditionally used by local indigenous people as source of several crafts like baskets and others.

This leaf is quite small yet, but an adult plant can reach something around 20 inches or more. The leaves are sparse right now as this one was clustered with other four ones and I moved it to climb a wood pallet that is in the background there. Watering the pallet will increase the chances of the roots adhering over it.

I'll bring more posts about individual tropical plant species and talk about them. What do you guys think about it?
