Achieve the glowing, refreshed skin you deserve
hilodendron tortum unfurls narrow, deeply-dissected leaves that twist and spiral like delicate fern fronds or skeletal fingers reaching skyward. This climbing aroid defies the typical philodendron silhouette with its lacy, almost ethereal foliage that brings tropical elegance to any space. Give it a moss pole to climb, and watch it transform into a dramatic vertical statement piece.
LIGHT: Bright indirect light ideal; tolerates 2–3 hours direct morning sun; avoid harsh afternoon sun which scorches leaves
WATER: Let top few inches of soil dry between waterings; sensitive to overwatering—prefers slightly dry over soggy
HUMIDITY: Prefers 50–70% humidity; tolerates average household humidity but higher levels promote larger leaf growth
FERTILIZER: Balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during spring and summer; high-nitrogen formulas encourage leaf production
TEMPERATURE: 60–85°F (15–29°C); protect from cold drafts and keep above 55°F
TOXICITY: Toxic to pets and humans; contains calcium oxalate crystals causing mouth/throat irritation, swelling, drooling, vomiting

HOW OUR SHIPPING WORKS We ship all live plants with custom packing, insulation, and lots of cushioning so they arrive in the best condition possible. Shipping rates are based on the packed weight of your order (plants + soil + pot + box + insulation). This helps us cover the real cost of getting breakable, living things safely to you.
In cold weather, we strongly recommend adding a Heat Pack add-on for each shipment. Heat packs are priced separately and add additional weight to your box.
SHIPPING NOTE: Shipping includes wrapping and insulation. Heat packs are not included by default—please add a Heat Pack add-on to your cart for cold-weather shipping.
Shipping Days are Monday-Wednesday to avoid weekend and holiday delays.
PLEASE NOTE: What you see is the vibe — not the exact plant. 🌿
Each plant has its own personality (some a little more dramatic than others).
Leaf shape, size, and variegation will vary, but pot size is consistent.
