Philodendron Spiritus Sancti is the most expensive plant i have known worth P2,000,000. That was three years ago and the price of the plant now dropped to P5,000 for a medium sized plant. How about the variegated version of the plant? Is it worth 5 Million peso? When yo have this kind of ultra rare plant you need to have a good potting mix with Mycorrhizae compost to go with your propagation. What is Mycorrhizae/Mycorrhiza: Mycorrhiza is a non-disease-producing association in which the fungus invades the root to absorb nutrients. Mycorrhizal fungi establish a mild form of parasitism that is mutualistic, meaning both the plant and the fungus benefit from the association. About 90 percent of land plants rely on mycorrhizal fungi, especially for mineral nutrients (i.e., phosphorus), and in return, the fungus receives nutrients formed by the plant.
