Some of the Tree Philos (P. bipinnatifidum) are bent and leaning from the hurricane winds.


But Philodendron 'Fantasy' (a/k/a P. domesticum) is still clinging and climbing an oak without any wind damage:

Lin, So glad you are safe. Hope not much is damaged.

Anybody, Any takers for Phlo. Florida Beauty? Got some broken stems and no where to put them. Hate to throw them out.

An update on a couple big pots of vines with trellises:
Heart leaf vine on the R (P. oxycardium), horse head on the R (P. bipennifolium) potted with Monstera obliqua & Pothos.


P. erubescens potted with arrowhead (Syngonium.)


'Pink Princess' with 'Brazil'


This is from a piece of heart-leaf that I dropped on the ground last spring that managed to survive the non-winter this last time and has grown up & started climbing the carport. The roots are attached.


Tree Philo (P. bipinnatifidum) that had to be dug up so my greenhouse could be moved over the spot where they were. The foliage may not survive some winters but the roots should, especially in these sheltered spots. I put one here:


And one here:


This one has been in this spot since spring.

Imperial Red Philodendron. I almost gave up on it last year. It had scale. But as usual Azamax to the rescue. Gene

Philodendron Imbe Var. An example of keep those leaves close to the lights. OK 2nd pix also has a bit of a Philo. Giganteum and Selloum in front of the fireplace that I do not use and some of my Rubik's collection. Gene

Gene, that 'Imperial Red' is gorgeous ... you should add your photo to the database: Blushing Philodendron (Philodendron 'Imperial Red')

I do see Tree Philodendron (Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum) (synonym selloum) peeking out at the bottom of that last photo and I love that GIANT in front of the fireplace! It doesn't have the wavy like leaves shown in database pictures of Giant Philodendron (Philodendron giganteum) and it reminds me more of Spade Leaf Philodendron (Philodendron 'Fantasy') Whichever it is, it sure is gorgeous ... great growing!

Feel free to add any pix I post here to the database. Yes not much Giant showing. Maybe I'll do another pix later. Gene

Gene, I submitted a proposal to move your photo of P. 'Imperial Red' over to the database, you will get a system notification when it's approved.

Yes, please show us more pictures of your wonderful plants!

I used to have a bunch of Philodendron's but most all have gone by the wayside along the way as I've downsized. Gene, your post got me to looking around to see what I still have. It's been a dreary, drizzly day here but I went out and took some photos.

This is Philodendron xanadu sitting out by the pool, I want to get it into the ground at some point but as I get older, I get lazier and more forgetful. I got this as a very small plant in the summer of 2007 and it's been rootbound in this pot for a long while now. I think it would be much happier if it were in the ground .... or else a larger container.


This is a Philodendron bipennifolium that I almost lost to a winter freeze a few years ago; it froze back to a single little piece of stem but it's made a nice comeback the past couple of years since I keep it in a more protected area now when we get cold snaps!


Philodendron erubescens (Blushing Philodendron)


One of the common Philodendron 'Brasil' that I have as an indoor houseplant:

What is the best lighting for your run of the mill Philodendrons, i.e. Heart-leaf? I seem to have little luck with these, as their new leaves always come in tiny or small. I have an East window, does it need to be right on the ledge perhaps?

Before I discovered that there is this thread on Philos I started a thread in houseplants called: White Leaf. Make sure you check it out. Gene

@Hamwild, I've always grown the heart leaf types below, indoors in low light, not even near a window and they've done very well.

Heart Leaf Philodendron (Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium)
Philodendron (Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium 'Brasil')

I also have two Satin Pothos (Scindapsus pictus 'Argyraeus') under shrubs in full shade in the yard and one inside the house on a plant stand across the room from the window and it seems to do fine as well.

Agree, a leaf worth seeing, and worth its' own discussion!

Ham, heart-leaf vine really can grow in a more dim spot than most other plants. It's the very last one on my light-priority list, of the plants I have.

I don't know why I have such issues then. :/ Each new leaf was always smaller than the last and they just kept getting smaller.

Maybe someone can help me out on this question? My phlo leaves grow exgagarated the older they get. Lin showed her Philodendron bipennifolium which is just lovely. Mine started out this way and now some leaves got more curves than expected! Is it the same group or in another group?
Purchased from Glasshouseworks as Florida Beauty.

Very nice! I really like the looks of the leaves of your Variegated Philodendron (Philodendron 'Florida Beauty Variegata')

LOL regarding being in the same group ... all I know is that they are all in the plant genus Philodendron and that juvenile leaves can be totally different from the mature leaf form! There's more information regarding Florida Beauty here: http://www.exoticrainforest.co...

I've had my Horsehead Philodendron (Philodendron bipennifolium) for at least eight years and the leaf shape hasn't changed much but it stays pretty root bound in it's pot and hasn't been given the means to really take off.

Lin, Thank you. It's name when purchased was 'Florida Beauty Alba'. It has a more marbled effect than 'Variegata' which they sold for much more. I am always cutting off the runners and giving them away. I can give you some come warmer weather if you what?

A week or so ago someone commented that I did not show enough leaves from P. Giganteum. The way the weather is outside today, ( -2F and windy right now) this is fun. Gene

Gene, What's fun about -2F outside? Glad I'm retired and can stay home and just look outside and enjoy this forum. I just love looking at your plants, reminds me of my childhood when they were some of my first plants. Just no where to winter over such large plants. Reason why I switched to Haworthias and small Aloes. All windows are full and got stands in basement with shop lights over them. Plus my old fishtank filled with sansevierias.
















Sorry for going off topic.

I do not exactly live in the tropics so a Philo. blooming is a big event for me. Philodendron "Moonlight" putting out a bloom stalk. Now that's what I call a Christmas present. Just went to Wiki - philodendrons - reproduction. Boy, complicated. Gene
