6" Philodendron 'Rugosum'
Pickup currently unavailable at BWH Plant Co.
Nicknamed “Pigskin” for its thick, leathery leaves, Philodendron 'Rugosum' stands out with a texture that’s just as unusual as it sounds. The foliage is matte, deeply veined, and almost quilted–giving it a tough, rugged vibe compared to smoother-leafed philos. Native to Ecuador, it’s a hemiepiphytic grower that climbs slowly over time, especially when given a moss pole or something to grip.
