The Philodendron 69686 is a striking aroid with deeply lobed, dark green leaves and a robust climbing growth habit. Known for its elegant foliage and lush presence, this plant has become a favourite among rare plant collectors — despite its rather cryptic name.

Originally discovered in the wild and assigned a number by researchers before being formally identified, the 69686 has since become a staple in many collections due to its beauty and easygoing nature. Its large, velvety leaves feature strong venation and a dramatic shape that instantly adds a bold, tropical feel to any indoor space.
