Philodendron 'Atom'

Introducing the captivating Philodendron 'Atom', a captivating houseplant hailing from the lush rainforests of South America. Characterized by its dense, glossy, and deeply lobed leaves, this houseplant presents a mesmerizing array of dark green hues, adding a touch of tropical vibrancy to any space. Growing up to 1.5 feet in both height and width, this plant is compact yet commanding, making it a perfect fit for indoor gardens, terrariums, or standalone pots. The Philodendron 'Atom' stands out with its charmingly rounded, bushy growth habit, which sets it apart from its typically viney Philodendron counterparts. The leaves, arranged in a spiral pattern around the stem, give the plant a dynamic, textured look. As a relatively slow grower, the 'Atom' rewards patience, offering a delightful visual progression as it matures and expands over time. In its natural habitat, the 'Atom' thrives under the cover of larger trees, which gives it a preference for indirect light when grown indoors. It’s also an epiphyte, meaning it’s adapted to grow on other plants, trees, or rocks, absorbing moisture and nutrients from the air and rain. This makes it an excellent choice for mounting on indoor plant walls or structures, where it can provide an eye-catching vertical element. The Philodendron 'Atom' is not only beautiful, but it's also an easy-care plant, which makes it a great choice for novice gardeners or those with a busy lifestyle. It requires only moderate watering, and is forgiving if you occasionally forget. It also has a high tolerance for a range of humidity levels, making it adaptable to most indoor environments. But the show doesn't stop there. As an added bonus, the 'Atom' has been known to produce inflorescences – clusters of tiny flowers shielded by a leaf-like bract, or spathe, that unfurls to reveal a spadix, or spike, of minute flowers. While these are rarely seen in indoor settings, when they do appear, they offer an exciting and unexpected flourish. In conclusion, the Philodendron 'Atom' is a versatile, resilient, and visually striking houseplant that will bring a touch of the tropics to your home or office. Its dense, richly colored foliage and unique growth habit make it a stand-out addition to any plant collection. Whether you're a seasoned plant enthusiast

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
