Philodendron

Philodendron is one of the largest genera in Araceae, with over 480 described species, native from Mexico to South America and the Caribbean. Many are climbing or hemiepiphytic, thriving in humid tropical forests. The name comes from Greek philo (love) and dendron (tree), meaning “tree lover.”
Fun fact: several Philodendron species are pollinated by beetles of the genus Cyclocephala; at night the spadix heats up and releases specific fragrances to attract them, synchronizing flowering with insect behavior.
