About

Philodendron advena is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae. Native to central and southern Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and Colombia, it is found in humid tropical rainforests growing on a variety of substrates. As a consequence, it is resilient and adaptable to confined indoor situations, and is valued by aroid enthusiasts for its dramatic, tropical foliage.
