Add to cart. I propose resurrecting this binomial from obscurity to apply to a showy Colombian Philodendron species now circulating in the trade. Young Philodendron cf. Image ©F. ; pers. Sold By: Heartland Aroids $ 124.00. The river where the species was discovered runs close to the border with Peru and the Philodendron appears to be endemic (exclusively found) only in that valley. *** Refer to the second photograph for the current pot style which has a more cylindrical form *** Pot dimensions: 28cm diameter x 25cm tall. Southern Ecuador to northern Perú in cloud forest between 975 and 6,300’/300 and 1,950 masl, but generally found in middle elevation cloud forest between 3,250 and 4,550’/1,000 and 1,400 masl. The leaves of different philodendron species vary as well. While sometimes reported as a terrestrial, unlike P. furcatum this species is also short-hemiepiphytic. Most balanced houseplant or orchid fertilizers work well with philodendrons. The inflorescences strongly resemble those of Ecuadoran Philodendron verrucosum. In notes on the associated accession (Steyermark 52843) he observed that its local name was “capotillo” and wrote, “One of the outstanding decorative aroids. During that time he not only helped many novice aroiders and rare plant nursery startups build their collections, but also served as an informal but valuable clearing house for rare and hard-to-obtain tropical Araceae. Förther s.n. Dewey Fisk (d. 2019) was a well-known south Florida plantsman and amateur aroid specialist. Philodendrons have long been known to have fairly high calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) requirements and indoor feeding regimens should take this into account (Hershey and Merritt, 1987). Alternate trade names: Sometimes confused with individual Philodendron serpens forms with reddish petiole scales as well as the sometimes-sympatric P. malesivichiae Croat, which has similar petioles but differs in its bright green, glossy, broadly ovate to suborbicular leaf blades. later discovered it growing in nature in low elevation Terra Firme forest as a hemiepiphyte in Acre State, Brazil in August 2001. Plants are still in the juvenile climbing stage. Bought this Philodendron today labeled bernardopazii but wasn’t 100% sure that’s what it is. Subadult leaves grown under shady conditions have very attractive pink or pale violet lower (abaxial) surfaces. "Let's Root For Each Other And Watch Each other Grow" Young P. triumphans ined. A fairly showy terrestrial and short hemiepiphytic species occurring from 1,300-6,500’/400 to 2,000 masl in western Colombia. Philodendron nangaritense. High color and contrast P. verrucosum selections from southern Central America may have the most colorful leaves of any naturally occuring aroids. Distinctive morphological differences in foliage between some imported plants sold under this name suggest that there is more than one population being traded as P. serpens. Its very handsome foliage does indeed resemble capotillos (diminutive cloaks). Some share brilliant red spathe exteriors with cultivated P. lynamii ined. Aphids and mealybugs are also reliable, common and obnoxious warm weather pests on philodendrons. Hybrids: Philodendron verrucosum x melanochrysum (several hybridizers), P. verrucosum x sodiroi (P. ‘Majestic’ – unknown hybridizer). Above left, petiole detail of a young seed-grown Philodendron plowmanii in cultivation in the author’s collection and right, P. cf. Author’s collection and image. Newer leaves are showing more pronounced puckering, giving it great visual interest as the leaves get larger. My personal favorites are the very localized “blue” phase Philodendron verrucosum from southern Costa Rica as well as young examples of the very strikingly colored “zebra-type” inter-Andean valley and Amazon drainage southern Ecuadoran and Peruvian plants. Imports often arrive practically rootless, or with dead roots as well as bruised and bedraggled. I first observed this species in Guna Yala in 2000 and have since found it both at the type locality and in adjacent forested areas, all between 900 and 1,100’/280 and 330 masl. Somewhat heat intolerant (even briefly), especially those originating from cloud forests, this plant has proven consistently challenging to Florida growers (E. Offolter, pers. The most prized examples will exhibit large amounts of white or silver mottling on their upper leaf surfaces into maturity. Slightly susceptible to spider mites but suffers generally when kept warm and dry. I have not flowered any as of yet, but it will be interesting to see how inflorescences compare. Leaf patterns vary among both individuals and different sized plants but most exhibit pink or reddish petioles and some degree of silver mottling or a distinctive cloud pattern on their mature foliage. An imposing, highly ornamental eastern Panamanian species discovered by Thomas Croat and Guanghua Zhu in July 1994, this plant attains massive dimensions in the upper canopy of emergent trees in lowland Caribbean versant rainforest of Panamá Province and Guna Yala Comarca. Sold By: Heartland Aroids. This – together with what may be one or more new and closely related species – is a very handsome terrestrial and hemiepiphytic plant that is particularly conspicuous in the understory of forest reserves in the inter-Andean valleys of Perú (F. Muller, pers. ... $152.50 7 Bids 6d 16h. Emergent lower leaf surfaces on plants from the northern end of its range can be particularly attractive. (e.g. P.x joepii) tend to fetch the highest prices in the market, more discerning and experienced collectors - especially in the U.S. - have increasingly shifted their focus to rare Panamanian, Colombian, Ecuadoran, Peruvian and Brazilian Philodendron species with showy leaves and attractive plant forms. Be sure to secure your plant well or you may return home to cry over a prized specimen that had done a somersault off the table or bench while you were away and ruined a year or more’s addition of leaf perfect foliage. plowmanii in Perú, in my experience almost all the “obligately prostrate” terrestrial philodendrons will clamber up trunks and other vertical surfaces to respectable heights when faced with an obstacle. Indeed, the frequency with which it appears in nurseries and well-appointed gardens in both Costa Rica and Guatemala has led many to believe it is native to both countries. Note the very dark upper leaf aspect and violet underleaf surfaces. The plants surged up and out from a very shady and humid corner of the house side of my Lexan roofed atrium and snaked two stories high to the roofline. Shop great deals on Philodendron Houseplants. They are very forgiving of container choice and I grow them variously in plastic bulb pans, azalea pots, net pots, hanging baskets, bonded coco fiber grow bags and vented tubs. OUT OF STOCK. Make an effort to acquire clones that have been propagated outside of countries of origin by a reputable source and have proven themselves to be suitable plants for interiors or warm greenhouses. Small, immature leaves strongly resemble those of large seedling Philodendron melanochrysum. As is the case with some Philodendron lynnhannoniae accessions, I have found that it will reliably and rapidly brown tip and/or defoliate if exposed to temperatures above 90 degrees F/32 C for more than a few days. Shown above, lower leaf, stem, root and inflorescence details of two outstanding, locality specific young mature Costa Rican Philodendron verrucosum nicknamed “Tico Blues” grown in the author’s collection and selected for breeding. Not suitable as a houseplant but in my experience will work well in a large, climate controlled Wardian Case or very humid warm greenhouse with cool nighttime temperatures. Variegated Monstera Albo Borsigiana Houseplant. Dewey conducted walk-in as well as online plant sales to buyers from around the world via his website, “The Philodendron Phreaque”. comm.). Showy, glaucous blue and satin-surfaced leaves on a group of large Philodendron gloriosum growing as a short hemiepiphyte in a garden setting in Guatemala. Thriving plant with 3 leaves and a new shoot on the way. This plant appears temperature tolerant in cultivation and in my collection has handled short term stints from 48° F to 95° F/9-35° C with no visible damage. Because this species is subvelvety and colorful only in youth, plants should be propagated from stem divisions and offsets on a regular basis if the grower wishes to maintain these desirable leaf traits in their specimens. Like some Central American forms, the lower leaf color intensifies with size and is a very attractive feature of the plant. Alternate trade names: None currently, but Philodendron carderi Hort. cypress, redwood, red oak and teak) posts of varying length and diameters, either unadorned or that have been wrapped in unwoven geotextile fabrics, “horsehair” coir sheets or loose fiber, soft NZ tree fern fiber, or mossed. Below, images showing an aberrant, apparently recessive trait in P. plowmanii that produces small numbers of plants in both nature and from artificial propagation that do not possess fringed petioles. Serious bidders only please. Despite young cultivated plants exhibiting a distinctly velvety aspect, mature wild plants can be rather plain looking. This is another of Alfred Graf’s remarkable “lost” tropical aroids that has resurfaced over the past decade amidst imports by Andean country nurseries. Philodendron Nangaritense $ 108.00. Presumably depending on elevational origin, some plants can be obviously and exquisitely heat intolerant. Author’s plant and image.

A mature leaf on the live type specimen in the author’s collection. Philodendron Goeldii Juvenile. Author’s image. Plants grown in deep shade in warm greenhouses can develop lustrous, almost iridescent or metallic surfaced leaves. This preliminary, placeholder identification is a reflection of the relative lack of knowledge of regional philodendron distribution and diversity four decades ago, but nonetheless evidences the great superficial similarity between P. glanduliferum and two Peruvian philodendrons that are not closely related to it. What to say? Spathe colors can be both attractive and rather variable within the northern Central American populations. Philodendron Nangaritense- Rare Aroid- Not Monstera. growing in cultivation. Due to the fact that relatively few of these high end “It-plant” species have been propagated from seed or plant tissue culture in the past, aroiders and tropical gardeners in general continue to depend in varying degrees on direct wild source plants as well as indirect source stem propagates of wild-origin material made outside of their native ranges. Author’s image. This very attractive satin-leafed species is closely related to Philodendron verrucosum L. Mathieu ex Schott with which it shares dense, needle-like (acicular) or almost tentaculate or medusoid petiole scales. Warm weather may speed the spread of Phyt. They can be any form from tiny little rambing plants to enormous behemoths that race to the tops of the tree canopy. Mature plants appear to be smaller-statured than Philodendron gloriosum overall, to ~20”/50 cm tall with largest leaf blades to ~20”/50 cm versus ~40”/1 m tall with >24”/60 cm leaves in exceptionally large P. gloriosum. It – or a related species that matches the description of P. triumphans perfectly - has recently reappeared on the scene following a prolonged absence via imports in the tropical ornamentals trade, that apparently originate from a very small area in the lowlands of western Colombia that is still unexplored by botanists. The plant shown is from a site ~150 miles/240 km airline distant and ~2,300’/700 m lower than the type locality where Philodendron discolor (now P. verrucosum) was collected in 1913 (Weberbauer 6663). It has required several months of rehab time back in the greenhouse to push a new pair of leaves and begin to restore a semblance of its past glory but will certainly take nine to 12 months to fully recover from its rather brief sojourn as a house pet. Alternate trade names: None, but recently plants that resemble juvenile Philodendron pseudoverrucosum have been seen imported in mixed offerings as P. verrucosum types.

At the other end of the scale, so-called miniature Philodendron verrucosum variously labelled as “Mini”, “Dwarf”, “Dwarf Ecuador” or “purpureum” are, in my experience, individual clones that stall for whatever reason at a small leaf size for protracted periods but will inevitably grow to normal dimensions if fed properly and moved out of terraria and into a suitable environment. plowmanii growing as a terrestrial in the shady understory of central Peruvian rainforest. Cork bark tubes work well but are costly, cumbersome and prone to rot at the base when kept permanently wet. I am indebted to him for introducing me to many interesting and remarkable growers and botanists, now all departed, including Ralph Lynam, Lynn Hannon, Murline Lydon and Harry Luther. With reservations on my part, this species may also be the plant discussed and depicted in Exotica Series 3. As was noted throughout this article, tetranychid (spider) and tarsonemid (broad and cyclamen) mites readily attack the leaves of many philodendron species and hybrids in cultivation when their growing area humidity is too low. The Plant List currently places P. vanninii Croat as an unresolved name. They are bushy and full, with vibrant coloring on the new growth, which will eventually mature and become fat turtles. Thomas Croat provided one in 2010 and clarified its very close and sometime confusing affinities with P. verrucosum. It remains to be seen whether there are stable, neotenous examples of this or a related, undescribed species that occur in nature. Bought this Philodendron today labeled bernardopazii but wasn’t 100% sure that’s what it is. A fresh comparison of dried material from Perú, Colombia and Brazil will resolve whether this plant is indeed conspecific with P. lupinum or is a closely related, still undescribed species typified by its velvety to subvelvety, very colorful subadult leaves and variant inflorescences. Philodendron nangaritense. I have taped several leaves on fully mature plants growing in the undercanopy of undisturbed forest on the Continental Divide in Coclé Province as well as the Caribbean lowlands of Veraguas Province – both in Panamá - that measured ~30”/75 cm in length and ~26”/65 cm in width.

A mature Philodendron glanduliferum shown growing as a terrestrial in a foothill rainforest of northern Central America. Unlike Philodendron verrucosum, this species has very short stem internodes so it can carry a dense foliage canopy even when relatively short-statured. Muller. Likewise, the identity of some plants cultivated under this name are uncertain. It can be set up either as a creeper in a wide container or trained on a short totem. Like most aroids, philodendrons are also susceptible to a variety of fungal disorders and bacterial blights. It is not unlikely that some of these captive plants are actually descendants of P. glanduliferum accessions made in southeastern México by European visitors during the plant collection tourism heydays of the 1970s and 1980s.

Please be aware that some familiar binomials used in ornamental horticulture remain unpublished; these are followed by author name and the notation “ined./ms. A three month experiment cultivating this plant as an indoor ornamental ended disastrously with all of the previously healthy leaves mite-infested and severely tip burned. An interesting and relevant footnote that speaks to the visual similarity of Philodendron lynamii Croat ined., from San Martín Province in Perú and this species: A 1981 Plowman collection (11640E) of a hemiepiphytic Philodendron from 3,000’/925 masl in Mariscal Cáceres Province, Perú was tentatively assigned to P. glanduliferum by Thomas Croat in 1982. Despite the extreme variability evident even among seedlings from the same species’ intracrosses, there enough morphological variation among clones in cultivation to suggest that two separate taxa are being grown as Philodendron plowmanii. Add to cart. They can even vary strikingly from juvenile to mature … The leaves start out pink and then mature to green. While my personal collection of uncommon or rare philodendrons is relatively modest by some large public garden standards (~50 species, ~60 forms overall including distinctive ecotypes), I currently grow or have grown in the recent past all of the plants discussed below.

CalMag and CalMag Plus (both 2-0-0+ micros) can also be drenched to provide supplemental Ca and Mg. Because some warm climate areas of the U.S. have hard tap water or calcareous soils, philodendrons often do exceptionally well as landscape and pot plants in these regions. I cultivated Philodendron melanochrysum as an ornamental garden plant at my home in Guatemala for almost two decades where the mature leaves exceeded 40”/1 m in length. comm.

Occurs in Columbia and Ecuador at about 750-1900m. Conversely, the lower leaf surfaces of some central Peruvian populations fades from deep red in youth to whitish-green when mature. This species can thrive as a houseplant on a totem when small, but is a bit more challenging as an interior plant when larger. Poor plant selection and understanding of this species’ needs, together with fumbled attempts by less-skilled growers have conspired to give this species a bit of bad rap in cultivation. Variously reported from low elevations of southern Colombia and Ecuador. This attractive but poorly known philodendron undergoes a series of color and morphological changes as it matures, including the gradual loss of the elongated petiole scales especially evident on the genicula of younger examples. I find that leaf mulch and other “forest products”-based substrates require plenty of perlite or pumice to improve drainage. that I exported from Guatemala to a U.S. nursery in 2005 as well as an orphaned accession propagated by an aroid grower in Hawaii. Described from horticulture in the Gardener’s Chronicle, the author’s name remains a minor mystery as does the apparent absence of any illustration that may have accompanied the original description. Several populations of Philodendron verrucosum are noteworthy for exhibiting an unusual leaf color transition than is normally seen in rainforest aroids that exhibit red or violet lower (abaxial) leaf color at different stages of their lives. Depending on final use for the plant or cutting, I will either grow it on in sphagnum or move to a standard conifer bark-based mix once the plant or cutting has a well-developed root system.
