Botanical Name: Philodendron 'Velvet'

Common Name(s): Velvet Philodendron

Philodendron Velvet is a visually stunning variety known for its rich, velvety, deep green leaves with a soft, almost plush texture. The leaves are large, heart-shaped, and have a distinct, luxurious feel, which gives the plant its "velvet" appeal. This tropical beauty grows slowly and reaches a height of about 12-24 inches, making it a fantastic option for medium-sized indoor spaces such as desks, shelves, or tabletops. Its elegant foliage adds a touch of sophistication to any home.

Philodendron Velvet thrives in bright, indirect light, which enhances its lush foliage. It prefers well-draining soil, and like most Philodendrons, it should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering should be avoided, as it can cause root rot. While it tolerates average indoor humidity, it will thrive with higher humidity levels, which can help the plant grow stronger and maintain its soft, velvety leaves.

Air Purifying Qualities:

• Toxin Removal: Philodendron Velvet effectively helps remove common indoor toxins such as formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene, contributing to cleaner air.
• Oxygen Production: This plant absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, making the indoor environment fresher and more breathable.
• Humidity Regulation: Velvet Philodendron also helps to regulate humidity by releasing moisture through transpiration, which can improve comfort in dry spaces.

Note: Philodendron Velvet is toxic to pets (cats and dogs) if ingested, so it should be kept out of reach of curious animals. As with all toxic plants, it’s important to monitor pets to ensure they don’t nibble on the leaves.
