The Philodendron Pluto is a popular house plant and will add variety to your collection and help grow your indoor rainforest! Beautifully long serrated leaves that unfurl to a deep green colour from its yellow stems. This is a tissue culture plant so it is still in juvenile stage and will incorporate the caramel marble as it matures. At maturity similar to the Ring of Fire, it too has the "Tiger Tooth" Leaf.
Better air quality!
- Its large textured leaves are covered with tiny pores that are great at absorbing toxins. These pores also take in carbon dioxide and through photosynthesis, the plant produces the fresh air we breathe!
- Big waxy leaves are also excellent dust trappers that are easily wiped away, keeping them away from your surfaces and lungs!
- Tropical plants like Philodendrons love humidity, they can transpire up to 95% of the moisture that they take in making them the perfect natural humidifier for your home!

Plants are delivered in nursery pots. We try our utmost to deliver a plant that looks similar to the one pictured - remember that no two plants look the same.
These plants endure massive shock when being transported, we acclimate and recover them before selling, but you are likely to find some dead roots if you remove the plants from the growing media, this is normal. We do not remove them from the growing media before shipping to check the roots for obvious reasons, but a plant that is growing happily for more than a month will keep on doing so unless there are drastic changes.
DO NOT repot this plant for at least 1 month after receiving it, the plant will go into shock again and reset the acclimation/recovery process, which can lead to death or an exceptionally long waiting time for new growth.
We look after our fellow planties, as many of our customers can attest to, if you experience problems with your plant, contact us, we will always assist.
