The Green Plant Gang
This week: Philodendron
"Philodendron is a large genus of flowering plants in the family
Araceae. (...) The genus Philodendron is still poorly known, with many
undescribed species. Many are grown as ornamental and indoor plants. The
name derives from the Greek words philo- or "love, affection" and
dendron or "tree"."
