Agree it's confusing because although there's an entry for 'Brazil,' there's no separate entry for 'Micans' cultivar, so pics of 2 diff plants of mine are on this entry:
Velvet Leaf Philodendron (Philodendron hederaceum)
And most of the other pics of one of the plants are in this entry. I uploaded all of the pics to one entry but some of the pics were moved. (Kudos to anyone trying to sort these out, BTW! Last time I thought I'd look into it, I just got more confused.)
Heart Leaf Philodendron (Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium)
Both entries have pics of diff 'versions' of P. hederaceum and I don't understand the separation of the 2 entries. I chose what I think is the less specific name (just 2 words, without the more specific 'var. oxycardium' at the end.) Since it didn't come with a tag, and I don't understand what the difference is supposed to be, I'm not comfortable assigning the finer distinction. But regardless of the name, it's a fantastically fast, fun plant to have around. Discussing where pics might best live is a fun thing to have available to do on an unpleasant weather morning. I'm always eager to learn more!
NLB, to answer your question about which plant I was offering, it's the non-Micans one, regular, ubiquitous heart-leaf vine with smooth, shiny leaves. It's the one I've seen in personal collections over the past couple decades on the internet, and places like malls and restaurants for my whole life, and owned the newest batch that I currently have for over 2 decades. Unlike the relatively newer 'Micans' and 'Brazil' cultivars that may have been around for a while but have become widespread much more recently.
But, to also answer your question... at this point, there's no window of opportunity in the forecast that would be good for sending a plant in a box. Too cold. If you happen to live somewhere that's usually pretty mild for winter, a window of opportunity between south AL and wherever you are could open. If not, and you are still in need in the spring, please contact me then and I'll be happy to fill whatever size box you'd like to pay the shipping for.
I apologize for forgetting to mark this closed when it became too cold to continue sharing. I'll do it now. Thanks for your interest!
