Philodendron ‘Little Hope'

Philodendron 'Little Hope' (Philodendron bipinnatifidum 'Little Hope')

The Little Hope is the compact version of the iconic Hope Philodendron — all the drama of those deeply lobed, tropical leaves in a size that actually fits on a shelf or tabletop. Its glossy, deeply cut foliage has a lush, jungle-like quality that makes it look far more exotic than its care requirements suggest. It's a self-heading plant that grows in a tidy, upright clump without needing a pole, making it one of the most architectural and low-maintenance aroids you can own.
