This muddled structure is used to represent the structural pattern of a philodendron plant (see line 8-9).
After a tree has been found, the scototropic behavior stops and the philodendron switches to a phototropic growth habit and the internodes shorten and thicken.
Hemiepiphytic philodendrons can be classified into two types: primary and secondary hemiepiphytes.
The leaves of seedling philodendrons are usually heart-shaped.
Later in the philodendron's life, it starts producing adult leaves, a process called metamorphosis.
In some philodendrons, the cataphylls build up over time and eventually form a wet mass at the nodes.
A greenhouse was built to house the philodendron and other plants during renovation and afterwards used for expansion and keeping more exotic plants.
A primary hemiepiphytic philodendron starts life high up in the canopy where the seed initially sprouts.
