Philodendron hederaceum ‘Papua New Guinea’ is a unique climbing plant that thrives in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Originating from the water, its roots are typically submerged, while its stems and leaves gracefully extend above the water's surface. This adaptable plant is well-suited for Nature Aquarium-style aquascapes, where it can filter water naturally through its root system, drawing nutrients from fish excrements and dissolved minerals. Canister filters can also be used to aid nutrient filtration.
One of the remarkable features of Philodendron sp. is its ability to grow without a substrate, making it ideal for aquascaping. It can be easily attached to driftwood using string or glue, adding a natural and decorative touch to your aquarium or plant display.
Perfect for open-style aquascapes, Philodendron sp. enhances land areas with its lush, tropical appearance. While selecting plants for the land sections of aquascapes can be challenging, Philodendron sp. brings a refreshing and natural aesthetic that complements aquatic plants beautifully.
Known for its ease of care, Philodendron sp. is one of the most beginner-friendly plants for aquarium tanks. Unlike most aquatic plants that require high humidity, this species can tolerate relatively dry conditions (around 50% humidity). It also thrives with minimal light—natural room light is typically sufficient for healthy growth. As a result, Philodendron sp. can even be placed in a simple cup of water as a stunning and low-maintenance interior plant.
