Inspired by the guy last week who had that amazing philodendron growing up a two story wall inside his home with a 3D printed moss pole bolted to the wall…
I don’t have ceilings that high because my house is a daylight ranch but I do have this spot where I could get 10-11 feet of growth and I can attach a moss pole to this brick. It’s got fairly bright indirect light from a wall of windows opposite this spot but it faces NE so I would install grow lights as well.
It needs to be a climber obviously, probably with large, interesting leaves. I can provide good care but can’t turn my living room into a greenhouse so it needs to be a bit resilient. What would you choose?
(Please excuse the sad Japanese lamp. Rice paper and kittens do not mix but luckily I can replace the paper now that they’re grown.)

Came here to say exactly what you’re thinking so i say go for it!!!
philo squamiferum is one of my favorites! It is one of the parents of p. florida, so it has a similar leaf shape, but these weird red fuzzy petioles, which i love.
I would love to let some variety of scindapsus shingle up that wall, no need for a moss poll. They get very flat once they start shingling, so not the big flashy foliage of some philodendrons.
