Different species of Philodendron originated in both Africa and Asia in tropical, humid areas around the equator. Philodendron is a classic among the houseplants. The name is derived from the Greek words for love (philo) and tree (dendron).
Most of the ornamental Philodendron plants have lobed or deeply cut leaves. They grow on the forest ground as shrubs or trees or as epiphyte on trunks of other trees. The greener the leaves, the stronger the species of Philodendron.
