A climbing aroid from seasonally dry tropical forests of southern Mexico and Central America, growing in soil, on rocks or on trees. Give it bright indirect light, a climbing support and water only when the top soil dries.
Philodendron warszewiczii is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae. It is native to southern Mexico, and to Central America. A climber, it is typically found in the seasonally dry tropics at elevations from 300 to 1,900 m (1,000 to 6,200 ft), where it can grow in soil, on rocks, or epiphytically on trees. It is facultatively deciduous in the dry season.
Named after Polish botanist, biologist and plant and animal collector, Józef Warszewicz.
