Philodendron corsinianumĀ is a gorgeous and very rarely offered for sale hybrid, thought to be the first man-made philodendron hybrid. Created in the 1880ās at the public gardens of āLa Cascineā in Florence, Italy and named after Prince Corsini. It is said to be a hybrid of Philodendron verrucosum and Philodendron pinnatifidum.
Corsinianum appears to be a self heading philodendron but in reality it is a monstrous climber with huge brownish green draping leaves and a pinkish-maroon underside. Kept in containers this plant grows very well in a shaded location. Given a totem to climb only enhances the rate of growth and leaf size. Very large and unique.
