Philodendron Verrucosum 'Esmeralda' 

A geographically distinct collection of Philodendron verrucosum sourced from the Esmeraldas region of Ecuador, the 'Esmeralda' form distinguishes itself from the standard species and other regional collections by a notably more rounded leaf shape and a particularly vivid, intense red abaxial surface — the deep burgundy-red undersides characteristic of the species here achieving a richness that shows through to the adaxial side, where the luminous pale green to golden venation shimmers against the deep, velvety dark green leaf surface. The characteristic bristle-hairy, reddish-orange petioles of the species are present and, on mature climbing specimens, become increasingly ornate. Like all verrucosum, it is a hemiepiphyte that begins life in the rainforest canopy and eventually sends roots toward the soil below, and it is widely regarded as one of the more demanding but visually rewarding philodendrons a serious collector can grow — the combination of velvety texture, luminous veining, and dramatic red-backed foliage on a vigorous climber is genuinely unmatched in the genus.

This cultivar performs best on a tall, firm moss pole — vertical support is essential, and mature leaves on a climbing specimen are dramatically larger and more ornate than those on an unsupported plant. Provide bright indirect light without direct sun, which scorches the velvety surface; this species also appreciates slightly cooler growing temperatures than most philodendrons, ideally 65-75°F, which reflects its higher-altitude Ecuadorian cloud forest origins. Keep the medium consistently but lightly moist — never waterlogged — using a very open, chunky aroid mix of orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir. High humidity of 70%+ is non-negotiable; below 60% causes rapid browning of the leaf margins and petiole tips. Toxic to humans and pets if ingested.

Defective parts; impossible to assemble
Two of the metal rods were not made in the proper proportion (the metal button that pops up into a hole in another bar each connects to was off from where it is supposed to be located) and were literally impossible to connect to the other two bars that they are supposed to connect to. Hence impossible to assemble. A total waste of money. Possibly the worst quality control I have ever seen.

Bad holes
Poles 1 and 2 don't click together due to poorly drilled holes, the clicker and the predrilled holes don't line up, really should return, but it's for outside, may try to fix the holes with a drill

Quick and easy assembly
This room divider is quick and easy to assemble, and does a great job at providing coverage with its large dimensions. The construction is sturdy and the divider material provides great privacy. This divider is relatively lightweight but despite just the two legs and somewhat large size, it's quite stable.
