Care information

*Philodendron* sp. “Peach Tunnel” is an undescribed climbing aroid in cultivation. The name refers to the oversized, channelled petiole structure seen on mature leaves. New growth often emerges with warm peach to bronze coloration before maturing to green. Like many *Philodendron*, the plant grows as a climbing hemiepiphyte and develops larger foliage and more pronounced petiole structure when given vertical support. This species will maintain compact size in terrarium environments.

You will receive a single cutting, grower’s choice. Listing photos are representative of the approximate size and form you will receive.

**Light Requirements:** Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun.
**Humidity Requirements:** Moderate to high, 60–85 percent.
**Temperature Range:** 65–85°F (18–29°C). Keep above 60°F (16°C).
**Growth Habit:** Climbing hemiepiphyte; benefits from vertical support such as a moss pole or slab.
**Soil:** Chunky, well-draining aroid mix with bark, perlite, and organic matter.
**pH:** Slightly acidic, approximately 5.5–6.5.
**Size:** Leaf size increases with maturity and support; petioles become enlarged and channelled in mature growth.

Plant Details
Airflow
Medium — Essential for "wetish" setups. Needs regular air exchange or internal circulation fans to prevent water from sitting on leaves, which helps avoid rot and fungal issues.
Family
Araceae
Growth strategy
Epiphyte
Humidity
60–80% — Suitable for "open-top" or partially ventilated terrariums. While higher than average household humidity, these plants are adaptable and less prone to leaf melt if the environment fluctuates slightly.
Lighting
Bright — Requires high-output lighting to maintain vivid color expression (especially for reds, purples, and variegation) and to ensure shingling habits stay tight and compact.
PH
5.5–6.5 — Acidic (Optimal): The “Goldilocks” zone for most tropical terrarium plants, including Marcgravia. This range ensures maximum nutrient availability and mimics the natural decomposition of leaf litter on the rainforest floor.

Size
Large
Temperature
70–85°F — Standard Tropical Range. This mirrors the natural understory of the rainforest, providing enough warmth for vigorous growth while remaining safe from the extreme heat that can bake a closed glass enclosure.
Watering substrate
Damp — These plants love high moisture levels; the substrate should stay wet to the touch at all times but should not be sitting in a stagnant, waterlogged state.
World
New World — Native to the Western Hemisphere: North, Central, and South America plus the Caribbean
