Lemon Lime

Description

A beautiful set of colors pursuant to it’s name!

The leaves are usually large and imposing, often lobed or deeply cut, and may be more or less branched in pairs. They can also be oval, spear-shaped, divided or in many other possible shape variations. The leaves are borne alternately on the stem. A quality of philodendrons is that they do not have a single type of leaf on the same plant. Instead, they have juvenile leaves and adult leaves, which can be drastically different from one another.

They also have both aerial and subterranean roots. The aerial roots occur in many shapes and sizes. The number of roots per node depends on the presence of a suitable substrate for the roots to attach themselves. Aerial roots serve two primary purposes. They allow the philodendron to attach itself to a tree or other plant, and they allow it to collect water and nutrients.

The Philodendron are a species of beautiful foliage plants. Common are large, green, and glossy leaves, excellent for adding their native tropical flair to any home. They are also known for their easy care. There are two types to choose from, vining and non-climbing. The vining type grow several feet, usually requiring some support structure to climb on. Non-climbing varieties grow upright as in most houseplants. Both types are usually fast growers.
