Philodendron Plowmanii black face

Philodendron Plowmanii ‘Black Face’ is a striking and highly sought-after cultivar of Philodendron plowmanii, an impressive terrestrial or hemiepiphytic aroid native to the rainforests of Ecuador and Peru. While P. plowmanii is already admired for its large, heart-shaped, leathery, and deeply veined green leaves, the ‘Black Face’ variety is particularly distinguished by its exceptionally dark, often near-black petioles (leaf stems), which create a dramatic contrast with the vibrant green leaf blades. This unique dark coloration gives the impression of a “black face” at the base of each leaf, adding a rare and captivating aesthetic to this already magnificent philodendron. It’s a robust and long-living plant, making it a prized addition for collectors and those seeking a bold, architectural statement in their indoor plant collection.

Cultivation and Care:

• Sunlight: Thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate slightly lower light conditions, adequate bright, diffused light promotes robust growth and can enhance its characteristic dark petiole coloration. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause leaf scorch.
• Soil: Requires a highly airy, well-draining, and rich potting mix. An Aroid-specific substrate with components like coco coir, orchid bark, perlite, and a good quality potting mix is ideal to prevent root rot.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. It appreciates consistent moisture but is very sensitive to overwatering; ensure excellent drainage and never let it sit in standing water. Reduce frequency slightly in cooler months.
• Humidity: Benefits greatly from moderate to high humidity (ideally above 60%), which encourages larger, healthier leaves. Misting, grouping with other plants, or using a humidifier can be beneficial.
• Propagation: Typically propagated through stem cuttings, ensuring each cutting has at least one node and a healthy leaf.
