Thaumatophyllum adamantinum
Philodendron adamantinum (also called Thaumatophyllum adamantinum) is an aroid from southeast Brazil, grown as a houseplant in cooler climates. It is a slow-growing, low-light tolerant plant that does best with bright indirect light and careful, moderate watering.
Philodendron adamantinum, synonym Thaumatophyllum adamantinum, is a plant in the genus Philodendron, in the family Araceae. It is native to South America, namely to Southeast Brazil, but is also cultivated as a houseplant in cooler climates.
On the basis of DNA sequencing, Philodendron adamantinum was transferred to Thaumatophyllum adamantinum. However, the genus Thaumatophyllum was not accepted by Plants of the World Online and other taxonomic databases as of October 2025.
Philodendron species are poisonous to vertebrates, but vary in their toxicity levels. They contain calcium oxalate crystals in raphide bundles, which are poisonous and irritating. The sap may cause skin irritation.
