I found this beauty sitting alone at the home depot. Thinking she's a philodendron, but wondering if anyone can give me some extra info?

Yep, a lovely Philodendron but I'm not sure which one. It reminds me of Spade Leaf Philodendron (Philodendron 'Fantasy') which is also sold as Philodendron domesticum.

I'd be hesitant to try to attach a cultivar name. "Erubescens" means red, that's how this species gets its' name. Yours looks quite red too. Blushing Philodendron (Philodendron erubescens)

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.

I agree with Tiffany and she does have a nice variety of these plants. In any case, you have a lovely healthy looking specimen. Lovey dubby Welcome! to NGA and wishing you much success in growing your beauty. Thumbs up

I have that same one, climbing up an oak tree in the back yard. All I can tell you is it's a Philodendron, as everyone else has already said. Got mine as a cutting from a friend who didn't know what it is either.

Very pretty, quite robust, really likes to climb - mine is 9ft. up the trunk of the oak now. When you're ready to re-pot it, better get it a taller stake to climb on - you can direct it easily to go round and round so it doesn't go straight up and flop over.
