Philodendron Leaf
Philodendron leaf is a large, deeply lobed tropical foliage that brings instant scale and drama to bold arrangements. Its glossy, split blades read as sculptural greenery, ideal for tropical bouquets, corporate pieces and large-format installations. A single leaf can anchor a design or line a tall vase, and the foliage lasts for weeks with basic care. Florists reach for it whenever they want architectural, jungle-lush structure with minimal fuss.

Recut the thick stalk and submerge in cool, clean water. These large tropical leaves are very long-lasting and appreciate humidity, so mist them and wipe the broad blades to keep them glossy. Store above 7°C, as the foliage is chill-sensitive and can spot or blacken if kept too cold.
