Philodendron grandipes is a rare and elegant climbing aroid species from the tropical rainforests of South America, belonging to the Araceae family. Known for its glossy, heart-shaped foliage and graceful vining habit, this species offers understated beauty and tropical charm.

The leaves are large, leathery, and rich green with a subtle sheen, typically displaying a soft, velvety texture on the upper surface and lighter undersides. Each leaf has a classic Philodendron heart shape with slightly elongated tips, exuding a refined, natural symmetry. As the plant matures and climbs, the leaves increase in size, creating a lush, layered canopy of vibrant foliage.

Perfect for growing indoors on a moss pole or as a trailing feature from a hanging planter, Philodendron grandipes combines easy care with quiet sophistication — a must-have for collectors seeking a rare species that embodies the timeless beauty of the Philodendron genus.


Philodendron grandipes – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Too little light may slow growth and cause smaller leaves, while direct sunlight can scorch the glossy foliage. A bright room with filtered light is ideal.

Watering

Keep the soil lightly moist, watering when the top 2–3 cm feels dry. Do not let the plant sit in water, as this can cause root rot. Reduce watering slightly in winter, allowing the soil to dry a bit more between waterings.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warmth, 20–28°C. Protect from draughts and temperatures below 16°C.

  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity (60–80%) encourages lush growth and healthy leaves. Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier for best results.

Soil and Potting

Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix — peat-free compost blended with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir. This provides the perfect balance of moisture retention and aeration. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the substrate and accommodate root growth.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser, diluted to half strength. Do not fertilise in winter when growth slows naturally.

Pruning and Maintenance

Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves at the base to encourage new growth. Wipe the foliage with a damp cloth to remove dust and enhance its natural shine. Trim vines as needed to maintain a compact shape or to encourage branching.

Growth and Maturity

A moderate to fast-growing climber, capable of reaching 1.5–2 metres indoors with proper support. Mature plants produce larger, more deeply veined leaves, developing a lush, tropical appearance as they climb.

Common Issues

  • Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Leggy growth: Insufficient light or lack of pruning.

  • Brown tips: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Pests: Occasionally spider mites, thrips, or mealybugs — inspect regularly and wipe leaves clean.

Background and Benefits

Native to tropical regions of Brazil and neighbouring countries, Philodendron grandipes thrives in humid understories where it climbs trees using its aerial roots. Its name, “grandipes,” translates to “large foot,” likely referring to its strong petioles and climbing strength.

This rare species has gained popularity among collectors for its elegant simplicity, resilience, and classic tropical look. Like other Philodendrons, it is also an excellent air purifier, helping to remove toxins and refresh indoor air.

🌿 Styling Tip:

    Worked but not well made. If you need 24 hour turnaround only option.
    The housing is 95% identical. Float valve seat is smaller than mercury/quicksilver. The carb I received was stuck wide open. Had to completely pull it apart to fix the throttle. Then the choke didn’t work correctly. So I ended up putting this housing on with all my old mercury carb parts inside. All I needed was a new float valve but they are back ordered indefinitely. So this worked because the housing is correct but that’s about it. Internals were plastic. Not metal. Jury is still out on the jet size. I’ll update if it floods the motor at speed. Seems to be running very rich. If you’re looking for easy, I’d buy the quicksilver that’s tuned for the motor already. The carb I received idled too fast and even if the throttle wasn’t stuck open it wouldn’t have run well with a racing choke (screams air leak because of poor quality)

    Throttle pin defective
    This carb fits my tohatsu 3.5 hp but the throttle pin is defective. The only way to regulate it running wide open is to choke it out.

    Great replacement kit
    Color: Black
    Water pump kit fits perfectly on my 200hp mercury outboard 2000 model. Excellent quality matching the OEM part I replaced from wear & tear. There where however extra gaskets & O-rings that go nowhere on my outboard
