Philodendron longilobatum 'Lelano Miyano' - Rare Philodendron with deeply lobed leaves

Philodendron longilobatum 'Lelano Miyano' is a spectacular collector's selection, prized for its long, deeply lobed leaves, with a highly graphic and elegant silhouette. As the plant matures, the leaves take on an increasingly dramatic appearance, with well-developed side lobes and an elongated, sculptural shape.

This is a climbing Philodendron, suitable for growing on a stake or moss pole, where it can develop larger leaves and an impressive upright growth habit. The name 'Lelano Miyano' is used in horticultural trade for this selection of Philodendron longilobatum.

📌 Note

The shape and degree of leaf lobing vary depending on the plant's age, maturity, and growing conditions. Young plants may have simpler, less divided leaves, while the characteristic shape becomes more pronounced as the plant matures.

Each plant may have a different shape and level of development. Leaves may have small spots, bends, scratches, or dry edges resulting from growth, handling, or transport, without normally affecting the plant's viability.
