Philodendron 'Dragon Tail'

Philodendron Dragon Tail is a fast-growing, climbing Philodendron with a genuinely exciting growth habit. Its juvenile leaves are small and oval, but as the plant climbs and matures each new leaf develops pronounced natural splits and lobes that make it look increasingly dramatic. Given a moss pole to climb, it transforms from a simple trailer into a bold, fenestrated specimen with leaves that bear a striking resemblance to a Monstera but with a more elongated, pointed form.

Good for beginners? Yes. Philodendron Dragon Tail is easy-going and fast-growing. It is forgiving of imperfect conditions and rewarding to watch develop as the leaves change shape with maturity.

Safe for cats and dogs? Philodendrons are toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs, or explore our pet-safe plant collection.

Light needs: Bright indirect light produces the fastest growth and the most dramatic leaf splits. It tolerates medium light but fenestrations develop more slowly. Avoid direct sun and very low light.

Care at a glance: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Feed monthly in spring and summer. Provide a moss pole or trellis to encourage climbing and the development of split, mature leaves.
