Philodendron 'Ring of Fire'

Serrated, slow, spectacular.

Naming note. A hybrid, believed to involve Philodendron wendlandii and Philodendron tortum in its parentage, though the exact origin is debated in collector circles. No wild ancestor. Notoriously slow-growing.

A cultivated hybrid with no wild counterpart. Developed for its serrated leaf edges and multicolored variegation, which can include green, cream, orange, and red on the same leaf.

Long, saw-toothed leaves that emerge in fiery orange-red, shift through cream and chartreuse, and settle into a deep green with lingering warm undertones. Every leaf carries multiple colors at once. Reads dramatic without being loud.

Grows well with moss poles, collector cabinets, and anyone who thinks of plant collecting as a slow art form.
