About Philodendron Mottled Dragon
Philodendrons grow aerial roots that grip the bark of trees, allowing them to grow over 20 feet tall! Their leaves change shape as they climb and can grow larger than a dinner plate. Fossils show Philodendrons growing as far back as 30 million years ago when South America was still connected to Antarctica! ❄️

Nothing quite like the glossy vibrancy of a new PoO leaf 🥰 my red sun is also giving off new deep red leaves but it’s a wee babe and still tiny. #NewGrowth #Philodendron #PrinceofOrange

Losing leaves #Philodendron My plant is losing leaves. What could cause that? I think I might be over watering her. She had been very leafy!

He used to have more leaves but lost some about 6 months ago due to over-watering. Since then none have grown back. Not one. What could be the issue? Thanks! #Philodendron
