蔓綠絨屬常綠多年生蔓性草本，原產巴西、玻利維亞。氣生根發達，藉以吸附攀爬生長。橢圓葉羽狀深裂，長40~60cm、寬50~60cm，裂片寬2~4cm，嫩葉呈紅色，成熟葉淺綠至深綠色，葉片不平整，常有弧度彎曲甚至捲曲。佛焰苞淺綠色葫蘆型，園藝栽培罕見開花。

An evergreen perennial vine herb in the genus Philodendron, native to Brazil and Bolivia. The vine climbs and grows by affixing the well-developed aerial roots on supporting structures. Leaves elliptical, pinnately deep-lobed, 40-60cm long, 50-60cm wide, and lobes 2-4cm wide. Tender leaves are red and turn to light green to dark green when mature. Blade surface uneven, often curved or even curled. Spathe light green and gourd-shaped. Flowers are seldom produced in horticultural cultivation.

半日照溫暖環境，全日照下需經馴化適應，否則會曬傷。介質使用排水良好的砂質壤土或培養土，水耕栽培也很合適。介質乾就澆水。春季施用一次長效性綜合肥料。扦插法繁殖。

The plant prefers warm and partial-sun environments and needs to be acclimated to prevent sunburn if cultivated in full-sun positions. Well-drained sandy loam or culture soil is preferred, but hydroponic cultivation is also an option. Water once the medium is dry. Apply a slow-release compound fertilizer once in spring. Propagated from cuttings.

葉形特殊，形狀類似蘇鐵與椰子類植物的葉片，在室內布置可發揮顛覆既有植物謝片形狀的趣味。適合單株種植，使用素色的盆器，以凸顯葉片的質感。

The peculiar leaf shape resembles that of cycad and coconut plants. It’s a fun and fresh addition to convert the style of the existing indoor planters. Suitable for single planting, use plain-colored containers to accentuate the blade texture.
