That's so pretty, and looks vigorously happy. That's what I've observed too, the newest leaf is always forming in the cataphyll of the previous leaf. Wild & fun to watch. Keep up the good work!! TY for sharing it.

Purp,
This plant is so, so easy to grow. It has become a favorite of mine for that very reason!

Back in October, Plantlady, was talking about not being able to find P. domesticum and it might be P. hastatum. If you really want to know what it is, you're going to have to let them grow up a support so they get mature leaves. Those leaves are still juveniles and won't take on their adult shape until they get to climb. P. domesticum is 'hastatum' in horticulture. It is listed in 'Exotica' as domesticum with hastatum in brackets. But, still, the best way to know for sure, is to let the plant grow up a support like a moss pole, give it good drainage and bright light. I'll try and post a picture with my reply. Just remember everyone, that vining philodendrons will change leaf shape as the plant get higher on a support and most likely larger. (click on the picture for a full view of the leaf)

I know I'm sticking my nose in probably where it doesn't belong, but one more maybe ID for Plantlady. On Oct 24, below your picture of Xanadu, you have two other that you can't ID, I think the second picture might be P. panduraeforme, again you might have to let it grow up a support for a while so the leaves become mature stage and not juvenile. (Sorry if I'm over stepping anything.)

@KurtMN Your comments are very welcome and I thank you for your input!

Regarding my unidentified Philodendron's from the October post on this thread; I probably should have come back here and edited that post once I had the names. The first one pictured is definitely a juvenile Philodendron eurebescens with the red stems and red blush to the back of the leaves. Regarding my second unidentified little philodendron; I knew that I had a name for it at one time so I went back through my computer files and did find where I had it listed as P. panduriforme; this juvenile came from a cutting of larger P. panduriforme that I used to have.

You refer to something called 'Exotica' but I'm not familiar with that site; is it a plant encyclopedia or a website? I googled but only found websites for on-line plant sellers, Flora Exotica and Exotica Plants but I could not find any philodendrons in their listings. I'm also not understanding what you mean about them listing hastatum in brackets. Is it shown as Philodendron domesticum [hastatum], "hastatum", 'hastatum'? The word hastatum should not be shown in brackets because hastatum is the species. If it were a cultivar name, it would be listed as 'Hastatum'. Although many nurseries and garden centers never get it right which adds to confusion, the correct manner of wording or labeling should be: Philodendron hastatum

Genus: Philodendron
Species: hastatum

When I was trying to research P. domesticum, I searched at the Catalogue of Life website as well as the U.S.D.A. and got zero entries. When I searched The Plant List it came back with Philodendron x domesticum but it says "Unresolved name." At KEW (Royal Botanic Gardens) it says "This name is unplaced."

Apparently what people refer to as Philodendron domesticum is actually a hybrid of unknown origins and there is no species named domesticum so I will keep my plant labeled as Philodendron hybrid (without any species or cultivar name attached) because I don't have any idea of its origins. The late Steve Lucas was a very knowledgeable expert on Aroids and his website has wonderful information. You can read here about Philodendron hastatum and what he had to say about the plant many refer to as P. domesticum http://www.exoticrainforest.co... Apparently there is no species domesticum so it's more than likely a hybrid of an unknown Philodendron.

I have serval philos, most bush, my favirote is a varigated heart leaf that is thriving. i think the t5 grow lights make all the difference in the world. i rescued it from a bach mens, and took it out of its pot, repotted it twice and gave it feeding of mericle grow fertlizer now its growing vines like a weed. i plan on ripping it up a little at the roots to train on a moss pole later on this summer. its leaves are as big as or nearly as big as my hand in some cases.

I'd love to see that. Sounds like a stunner!

Cool maybe I'll have a staff take a photo on his/her cell and download the photos sometime.

Hey Plantlady,

I'm surprised but maybe I shouldn't, I reference "Exotica - pictorial cyclopeida of exotic plants" 7th edition by Alfred Byrd Graf published in 1973. I do know that some plants are unresolved as of yet as in the P. domesticum and also P. domesticum variegatum listed with pictures. When I said 'hastatum' is does list it as P. domesticum (hastatum hort.). I have visited the Aroid website as well, when doing my own investigation since philodendron names have changed or are still in contention. I used Chrome when doing my search and when I put in philodendron domesticum I get a bunch of listings, why you don't I'm not sure, since it does list around 1800 hits on the name. But that is neither here nor there, at least you know what you have. but still the best way to know for sure, is to allow the vines to climb so the adult leaves come out, if, someone is not sure of what they do have. So that's my take on the thing. Just as a side note, I have run across a lot of disagreement as to whether or not Alfred Graf was right or wrong in his labeling of plants. I've been going through this old cyclopedia plant by plant to get color pictures instead of black and white from the beginning, just for my own enjoyment, I'm making my own cyclopedia as it were and so far, I'd say about 97% of the time, the plants that he lists can be found online with the same names including the Philo's. I have found differences when it came to Alocasia's and Colocasia's and Datura's and Brugmansia's and so forth. It'll be interesting when I get to the Orchid section since I know that many many of them have different names and some are no longer in use. A friend of mine will come in handy when I do that section.

As I said, I stick my nose in and say my bit and hope it helps or not.

Good growing to you all!

I like the variegated one best, and the tiny one on top of the cat is a tiny bottle w/ water inside a pot. I use to take clippings
off of my big plants and plant in the gravel of my freshwater fish aquarium and they would last for weeks!

Linda, your Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) plants look great! That plant is very easy to grow in water; I used to always snip stems and stick them in jars/vases of water to root. Once I had a vase sitting on a shelf in my kitchen for a dozen or more years with it growing in water; I'd just empty the vase every few weeks and add fresh water and that plant grew and grew.

I have done the same with a Arrowhead, been in a big vase of water for years. When I would have a plant that was looking sad that could grow in water I would take it of of it`s potted planter and just into water and it would perk up.

The one in your photo on the far right reminds me of my Pothos (Epipremnum aureum Pearls and Jade®) My plant had that name on the tag when I purchased it but Pothos (Epipremnum aureum 'Njoy') looks an awful lot like my plant too.

• Blushing Philodendron (Philodendron erubescens 'Pink Princess')

is that what my plant is?, leaves feel like succulent and I only water it when it droops and asks.

Linda, I think that pretty one's a Peperomia, either tricolor species or clusiifolia 'Tricolor' cultivar. They look exactly alike to me, from pics I've seen. A succulent, that would not prefer to be moist all of the time. If it droops too often though, the older leaves can fall off before they would otherwise.

I agree with Tiffany; your plant is

I've submitted a proposal to move the one image at Peperomia Tricolor over to P. clusiifolia 'Tricolor' and then have the entry with the single photo deleted.

Well, it looks like I was wrong in submitting a proposal to move that one photo in the database, my proposal was declined. I didn't realize tricolor was a species ... I thought it was the cultivar name. But, I agree that your plant is definitely a Peperomia ... whether the species clusiifolia with the cultivar name being Tricolor or actually the species tricolor ... it's definitely a Peperomia.

Lin, I did the exact same thing! I'm not sure they're different, but for today at least, the taxonomists say they are.
