Philodendron Jungle Boogie, also called tiger tooth philodendron, is a rare tropical aroid from the Araceae family native to the rainforests of South America. It grows beneath dense forest canopies and has become sought after by rare aroid enthusiasts for its exotic indoor presence.
The serrated leaves are the defining feature, with jagged margins compared to saw blades or shark teeth. Long, narrow foliage emerges in green and develops its signature deeply cut edges as it matures. The upright growth habit creates a sculptural form unlike most other philodendrons.
Like most aroids grown as foliage houseplants, Philodendron Jungle Boogie rarely blooms in typical indoor conditions. The plant performs as an air purifying plant, actively filtering formaldehyde and other indoor toxins from your living space.
Rotate it regularly so every side develops evenly, and keep it in a stable location once settled, as it is sensitive to being moved frequently. Kitchens and bathrooms work especially well because ambient moisture keeps humidity levels up. Keep Philodendron Jungle Boogie on a high shelf well out of reach of cats and dogs, as the sap can cause skin and paw irritation on contact.

Philodendron Jungle Boogie grows well in bright indirect light, away from direct sun rays that scorch its leaves.
Water it every 7 to 10 days in spring and summer, allowing the top inch of soil to dry between waterings, and reduce frequency in winter.
Philodendron Jungle Boogie grows well in chunky, well-draining soil made from perlite, orchid bark, and quality potting soil.
It prefers temperatures between 65 and 85°F and should never experience frost or temperatures below 32°F.
