Philodendron Ernestii

• Philodendron Ernestii has lovely wavy heart-shaped leaves that are supported by ruffled petioles.
• He’s a lovely climbing plant. He multiplies in the appropriate conditions and with the proper assistance.

Provide him with a sunny location that is not in direct sunlight. He’d want to work near an air humidifier. It grows best with humidity levels over 60% but may tolerate lower levels. If the air humidity is too low, the plant’s leaves may curl, and dry tips may emerge.
