Philodendron ornatum is a species of evergreen climbing plant in the genus Philodendron native to tropical South America and Trinidad and Tobago. It is categorized as a rare or uncommon plant species due to its limited distribution in the wild. This species is highly regarded for its striking appearance, featuring large, glossy green leaves that have a light-green margin, midrib, and primary veins, making it a popular ornamental plant.

It is also known for its air-purifying properties. Its ability to remove harmful toxins from the air makes it an excellent choice for indoor environments where air quality can be a concern.Also, It grows rather quickly, but it needs a place to climb in order to mature into an adult form. At home, it might reach a maximum height of 4 to 6 feet.

Philodendron ornatum has distinct leaves, stems, and flowers that can vary in appearance depending on the specific cultivar. Proper care involves attention to humidity, light, temperature, watering, and fertilization.[1]
