This is a HUGE growing philodendron which is probably NOT suitable for prolonged use as a houseplant. It is an aggressive climber and eventually requires a fairly massive support (think TREE TRUNK). The leaves are lacy and the spread can be 4-6 feet. The trunk can reach diameters over 12-14 inches. A wonderful plant IF you have the space.
