Philodendron squamicaule Specimen ID:Plant 25 such as the Hose Mountains

such as the Hose Mountains

Both peltata and villosa take some time to produce pitchers of a large size and I expect the pitchers to continue increasing in size with each leaf as they mature

We've found the plants to exhibit a range of coloration in pitcher coloration and morphology

these plants benefit nutritionally by functioning as lavatories for tree shrews as the animals lick the exudate (sugar) from their lids

This form is distinct from any other Nepenthes ventricosa we have ever encountered in cultivation
