Philodendron Lundii Seeds

Philodendron Lundii is a rare philodendron variety, similar to the more common "Bipinnatifidum", most commonly known in Australia as Tree Philodendron (Syn. Philodendron Selloum), which is a spectacularly large leafed philodendron successfully used in many different landscaping applications. The deep lobed, glossy dark green leaves provide a brilliant tropical looking backdrop to any garden.

Whilst much rarer, Philodendron Lundii is preferred to the more common "Bipinnatifidum" as "Lundii" is a hardier species able to tolerate a wider temperature range, particularly hotter daytime temperatures.

Philodendron Lundii plants can grow up to 3m, and are often used as an understorey plant for established gardens/trees, or even beside buildings and fences, where they act as a informal privacy screen.

Once germinated, Philodendron Lundii is a relatively easy to grow garden plant that does not require any maintenance, will tolerate soils with generally poor nutrition and is resistant to most common garden pests and diseases. This species is often grown in pots.

Philodendron Lundii encompasses the species Philodendron Selloum, which until recently was believed to be a separate species. Whilst the evolutionary botanists debate the taxonomic classification of this species, you can enjoy the tranquillity of this plant, straight from the Amazon.
