The Philodendron Nargaritense is a very rare neotropical perennial species that is native to a valley near the Rio Nangaritza in southern Ecuador. Philodendron nangaritense has green heart-shaped leaves that are almost round. It grows best in bright, indirect light. Philodendron nangaritense loves to be kept consistently moist, but not soggy. You want to make sure the soil has proper drainage. If the soil stays waterlogged for too long, our friend will become sad and suffer from root rot.
