Philodendron bipinnatifidum 'Tortum', sometimes called the Skeleton Key Philodendron, produces deeply divided, multi-lobed foliage so narrow and elongated that each leaf resembles a green, skeletal hand. It is a climbing Philodendron that develops longer, more dramatically divided leaves as it matures, especially when given a moss pole to ascend. The overall silhouette is airy and open, completely unlike the broad, solid leaves typical of most Philodendrons.

Native to the tropical forests of South America, Philodendron 'Tortum' grows as a hemiepiphyte, climbing trees in the humid understorey. Its skeletal leaf form is thought to be an adaptation to allow light and wind to pass through the foliage.
