Philodendron ‘Splendid’ is a hybrid aroid (†P. verrucosum × P. melanochrysum) distinguished by its velvety, cordate foliage with prominent, pale venation enhancing its laminar contrast. Exhibiting a scandent growth habit, it develops elongated internodes and aerial roots adapted for hemi-epiphytic climbing in humid, low-light tropical understories. Optimal growth occurs with high ambient humidity and diffuse light, promoting larger leaf morphology and intensified velutinous texture. Highly ornamental and collector-favored, ‘Splendid’ combines vigor with refined, premium foliage characteristics.
