Philodendron nangaritense ‘Fuzzy Petiole’ is a climbing aroid with large, heart-shaped leaves and hairy leaf stalks. It grows upright to about 90 cm, so it needs a tall terrarium or paludarium with something to climb. Like all philodendrons it is toxic to pets and people if eaten.

Plant it in a well-draining, nutrient-rich substrate and keep it evenly moist, letting the surface dry slightly between waterings. It needs high humidity. During the growing season a dilute liquid fertilizer once a month helps. It can be propagated by stem cuttings or air layering.
