I am a monumental herbaceous plant, prized for my enormous leaves and statuesque form, often used as a living sculpture in gardens.

Native to the rainforests of Colombia; cultivated in tropical and subtropical gardens worldwide.

Water heavily and consistently to keep soil evenly moist at all times; requires high humidity.

Prefers partial shade to filtered sunlight; protects from harsh afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch.

Thrives in 18-28°C; absolutely cannot tolerate frost; best in consistently warm, humid conditions.

Plant in rich, moisture-retentive, well-draining soil; provide ample space (2-3 meters apart) for full spread.

Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer or compost.

Botanical name: Philodendron bipinnatifidum 'Giant' (common name "Giant Lily" or "Tree Philodendron"); Family: Araceae.

Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested; contains calcium oxalate crystals causing oral irritation and vomiting.

High; effective at removing indoor air pollutants like formaldehyde and improving humidity through transpiration.

Creates an instant tropical atmosphere, provides dramatic visual impact and shade, excellent large indoor statement plant in bright spaces.

Leaf edges may brown in low humidity or from underwatering; susceptible to spider mites indoors; root rot in waterlogged soil.

Long-lived perennial; can live for decades, growing 3-4.5 meters tall and wide outdoors, smaller when container-grown indoors.
