Philodendron

Philodendrons have some of the most striking and unpredictable leaf patterns of the plant world. Some are crinkly, others smooth and wide with some having a velvet texture. For the variegated Philodendrons, each leaf is a suprise in contrastings colours ranging from pink to yellow to red to white. Originally native to the Caribbean and South America they can now be found in Asia.
