Philodendron gigas is a climbing species from Panama with elongated velvety leaves and a strong shift from new to mature foliage. Young growth can open bronze to copper before hardening to deep green, while older leaves become longer, darker, and softer in surface texture. On supported mature growth, the blades can size up dramatically and hang from the climbing stem. It grows as an appressed climber, with the stem staying close to its support while larger foliage develops. The dark velvet surface becomes more pronounced as the leaves lengthen.
