Care information

A nice miniature-sized Philodendron perfect for terrariums. So long as it exists within your terrarium (and isn't grown up a pole) it'll stay fairly small. I've grown these to more mature sizes, also gorgeous as a houseplant!

Thrives in higher humidity and moderate to warm temperatures. I've grown these outdoors locally down to the 20-40%RH range though I assume it really appreciates the 50-80%RH range.

You will receive a similarly sized cutting. It is likely it will have aerial roots. Plant in some sort of damp media in a high humidity environment and it will root quickly.

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

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
