Knotted Philodendron

The Knotted Philodendron (Philodendron martianum) is a species of flowering plant belonging to the Philodendron genus which is a part of the Araceae family. The Knotted Philodendron is considered an epiphyte, which is a term used for plants that attach itself to a tree or other supporting structure, rather than grow in soil. The Knotted Philodendron is considered a polymorphic species, and its leaves can change shape drastically depending on how they are cultivated and environmental factors.

It is important to water this plant only when the soil is dry to the touch. Allowing the top soil to dry before rewatering will ensure that the plant can take up the water it needs. The Knotted Philodendron responds well to occasional deep watering, allowing the entire pot to soak and drain. Make sure to avoid over-watering as this will cause the roots to become waterlogged and the plant can suffer.
