Philodendron FIDDLELEAF Bipennifolium Tropical Live Plant Starter Size Green 5 Lobe Leaf Indoor Outdoor Garden 4 Inch Pot Emerald R

Philodendron bipennifolum or Fiddleleaf Philodendron is a unique tropical plant that has recently taken the indoor plant community by storm. Many philodendrons have varied leaf shapes at different maturity levels, this cultivar is no exception. Newly sprouted leaves are simple and single lobed and morph into distinct three to five lobed fiddle shaped leaves as they mature.

There is debate in the horticultural community about the true identity of this plant as it is often sold under the name Philodendron panduriforme. In the juvenile form, these plants are easily confused, but the mature 5 lobed leaves of Philodendron bipennifolum allow for the distinction to be made.

Fiddleleaf Philodendrons are a vining variety and can be seen trailing from hanging baskets or creeping up the trunks of mossy trees. If you notice that your philodendron's vines have sparse leaves or look leggy, they may need more sunlight.
