A medium-size specimen of one of the most spectacular velvet Philodendrons, displaying the species' signature elongated, deeply corrugated leaves with a rich, dark-green velvety surface and prominent pale venation. At this size it already shows the dramatic leaf form that makes it one of the most sought-after aroids in cultivation.
