$25.00Philodendron Jungle Fever – Lush, Tropical Foliage with Wild Energy
If you’re after bold, jungle vibes, Philodendron Jungle Fever is ready to take over your space. With its large, deeply lobed green leaves and fast-growing nature, this plant brings a tropical, untamed energy to any indoor setting. Unlike its variegated counterpart, the plain green Jungle Fever boasts a rich, uniform green color, making it a striking, low-maintenance statement plant that thrives in the right conditions.
Origin: Believed to be a hybrid Philodendron, possibly with parentage linked to Philodendron bipinnatifidum and Giganteum, this variety is cultivated for its bold leaf structure and vigorous growth.
Growth Habit & Size: A large, self-heading Philodendron that grows up to 1.5 meters tall indoors, developing a bushy, spreading form.
Shape & Spread: Features deeply lobed, glossy green leaves that create a lush, full appearance. It does not climb but spreads outward, making it ideal for floor placement.
Room Placement: Best suited for bright, indirect light and thrives in north-facing or east-facing rooms in the southern hemisphere. Works well as a statement floor plant in living rooms, offices, or shaded patios where its large leaves can fully develop. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.
Difficulty Level: Beginner – Tolerant of occasional neglect, making it an excellent choice for those new to Philodendrons. Prefers consistent moisture but is forgiving of occasional drying out.
🔎 Rarity Check: NZ New by PlantHouse in New Zealand
Toxicity: Toxic if ingested; contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation.
Plant Size Guide
The plant in the photos is an example and an approximate guide only however we try to show an average sized example. Sizes, flowering state and colours change throughout the seasons and variation will occur. In summer & autumn, plants are often larger or the same size as than the example picture but around winter and spring, they can be a little smaller but still at a size similar to the example. We aim to update the pictures to reflect significant differences.

Plants in Transit
Each Small, Medium & Large plant is individually contained within its own protective cardboard Plant Carton which may be joined to other cartons in your order.
Plants typically take just a day or two to arrive, however they are usually fine in their cartons for 1-2 weeks, and many can go longer, so a few extra days are not usually cause for concern.
Whether it takes 1 or 7 days, let your plant recover from its journey by placing in gentle light and adding a little water and it will be back to its best within a couple of days. Let us know if there are any major issues via the contact page.
