Philodendron Choco Empress

The Philodendron ‘Choco Empress’ is a rare and elegant climbing philodendron admired for its dramatic foliage. New leaves unfurl in a bronzy chocolate-brown shade before maturing into deep green with a soft sheen, creating a striking contrast on the vine. A fast grower when given support like a moss pole or trellis, this variety is highly sought after by aroid collectors but is still easy enough for beginners to enjoy.
