Description

Source: leafsnap

The Finger Leaf (Philodendron goeldii, Thaumatophyllum spruceanum), also known as the Fun Bun, is a lovely plant endemic to French Guiana with star-shaped leaves. It is a fast-growing Araceae family cultivar. It grows similarly to Philodendron selloum but has leaves comparable to Schefflera. Because of its long, clustered leaves, this plant is often known as Finger Leaf. As it grows, this plant produces vines that rely on other plants to help them climb higher. It will grow to a height of 8 inches and blossom on spiral-shaped stems all year.

💡 Tree philodendrons are tropical foliage plants known for their large, thick, and lustrous green leaves. Their sturdy petioles add to their robust appearance. These plants have a high ornamental value and exude vitality.
