Philodendron 'Kitina'
Philodendron 'Kitina' is an unusual collector's hybrid created from Philodendron 'Florida Beauty' x Philodendron mayoi. It combines the deeply divided, sculptural foliage associated with mayoi with the strong growth and elegant form of 'Florida Beauty', producing dramatic leaves with long, flowing lobes and a distinctly tropical appearance.
As the plant matures and begins to climb, the foliage becomes larger and increasingly impressive. Give 'Kitina' plenty of bright, indirect light and a moss pole or other support to encourage mature growth and more pronounced leaf shapes. Its architectural form makes it particularly striking as a feature plant within a tropical or collector's houseplant display.

- Feature: Deeply lobed, jungle-like foliage with a distinctive architectural form
