Philodendron subhastatum

It's hard to visualize how big a plant can grow from a four-inch pot, but it pays to think ahead with varieties such as Philodendron subhastatum. At maturity, it can grow three to six feet tall and up to four feet wide, so transplanting it into a larger pot with a moss pole will make life tidier in the future. As this one climbs, the red-hued back sides of the green leaves are easy to see, and provide another element of interest to an already attractive plant. Given optimal conditions, this philodendron could reach six feet in about five years, so be prepared to transplant it at least three times before it reaches its maximum size.
