One of the most sought-after Philodendrons in cultivation. Philodendron spiritus sancti is famed for its long, narrow, pendulous, almost velvety leaves held on elongated petioles from a climbing stem. The leaves are strap-like and hang gracefully, giving mature plants a unique, drooping silhouette unlike almost any other Philodendron. This is a tissue-cultured clone of the species, offering collectors the chance to grow this extreme rarity.

Origins
Native to a very small area of Esprito Santo state in south-eastern Brazil, Philodendron spiritus sancti is critically endangered in the wild, with only a handful of known specimens remaining in its native Atlantic rainforest habitat.
