Philodendron - comes from tropical rain forests. The plant is very decorative and often grown in artificial conditions, decorating with its presence modern interiors and greenhouses.
Philodendron is an evergreen perennial of the Aroid family. Most of the genus members are arboreal forms or climbing plants that are half-epiphytic or epiphyte. The choice of the generic name is explained by the lian-like lifestyle of many Philodendrons, using trees as a support and source of supplementary food. Translated from the Greek word "philodendron" means "I love the tree."
Philodendrons can be seen in Australia and Asia, on Fr. Pacific Ocean. However, it is believed that these places are not the biological homeland of plants, they got there (were introduced) by accident. Settling in a certain area, Philodendrons grow rapidly, displacing other plants.
