Philodendron 'Tortum'

Philodendron 'Tortum' (Philodendron bipinnatifidum 'Tortum')

The Tortum is unlike any other Philodendron in your collection. Its leaves are so deeply dissected they look almost skeletal — long, finger-like segments radiating outward like a tropical fern crossed with a palm. The effect is airy and architectural, casting beautiful dappled shadows and bringing a sense of movement to any space. If you're looking for something genuinely different, this is it.
