Climbing

From the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, Philodendrons are among the easiest and most rewarding houseplants. The name comes from Greek words meaning 'love' and 'tree,' reflecting its climbing, tree-hugging nature. This climbing variety brings lush, tropical vibes with minimal fuss. Known for excellent air-purifying qualities, it actively removes indoor pollutants while adding vibrant greenery to your home.
