Philodendron 'Jungle Boogie'

Philodendron 'Jungle Boogie' is a deeply lobed hybrid with a wild, undulating leaf outline that twists and ripples along its length rather than lying flat. Narrow finger-like segments radiate irregularly from the midrib, giving mature leaves a lively, almost dancing silhouette that stands out against more conventionally shaped Philodendrons. It climbs readily given a support, with leaf size and lobing becoming more pronounced as the plant matures, and its unusual form has made it a sought-after conversation piece among collectors of narrow-leaf hybrids.
