Philodendron pinnatifidum
Comb leaf philodendron is a climbing aroid from wet tropical South America, grown as a houseplant for its deeply cut, comb-like leaves. Keep it warm and humid with bright indirect light and let the top of the mix dry between waterings.
Philodendron pinnatifidum, the comb-leaf philodendron, is a species of flowering plant in the Araceae. It is native to Venezuela (Bolívar, Aragua, Miranda, Distrito Federal) and northwestern Brazil, and reportedly naturalized in Cuba.
