Philodendron longibolatum also produces extrafloral nectaries, or nectar producing areas without flowers. They do this when they are properly cared for and thriving. That being said, it can make your plant sticky! These nectaries are located along the petiole and occasionally on the stem. 

Like other plants in the aroid family, these plants are unfortunately not pet safe. They can cause mouth irritation and GI upset if ingested. If included in a terrarium or bioactive enclosure, tropical animals will use them to climb and hide. 

Plants will ship bare root, are suitable for 4 inch pots and may vary slightly from photos, depending on available stock.
