What variety would you speculate this is? I have tried searching for various philodendron and have found nothing. Thanks.

Still no luck searching for Philodendron varieties with this look. Hopefully someone will recognize this as far as what particular species it is. I have been very curious as to if this guy will flower or not or to it's specific requirements.

Try Philodendron hastatum, or 'Emerald Queen'.

Hastatum looks fairly similar, although seems to taper muh more in the mid section of the leaf than mine does. Emerald Queen philodendron looks promising but none look exactly alike. It seems those Emerald Queens are close but there stem and root structure looks different as well.

I also saw a picture of a philodendron domesticum (forgive my spelling errors) that looked similar but other specimens of the species look different. I'm curious to see if anyone will know what this guy is. I have talked with several people and have yet to find out exactly what species this is. I'm thinking it may be somewhat of a rare plant. I really appreciate all the input so far everyone. Thank you.

specific Id is knowledge.. but not important to care ... a P is a P ...

there is a houseplant forum ... where you can get info on care ...

hard to tell on this pic.. but propagation is rather easy.. and sometimes its easier to call a restart .. get some new media ...clean out the pot ... and grow a young vigorous plant ...

all your attempts to hold it up ... indicates such ... some Ps are liana.. or vine-ish.. and grow down .. and trying to hold them up.. is really hard ..[so never mind my first paragraph.. lol]

Ken,

Thanks for the info. I have grown philo's for a while now but never this variety. When the leaves and stems were smaller, this plant seemed to want to grow more like an upright philo and less like a vining type. This is part of the reason I was curious as to specific species because I wanted to know whether it was an upright or vine growing philo; as it displayed some characteristics of both.

As the leaves got bigger it began to droop with weight slightly and I have supported the plant in an attempt to provide it with more light and less stress. I will absolutely have to re-pot this guy as the current pot has very poor drainage and I believe the roots have lost some vigor in the process.

I am going to take a few cuttings and try and propagate a smaller plant and hopefully save the original in the re-pot process. Maybe someone will still recognize the particular sepcies. Thank you everyone for your help so far.

===>>> brilliant on so many levels...

multiple ways to root ... while you repot the elder ... and knowledge for the sake of knowledge ... 3 thumbs up ... i call the neighbor .. lol

btw ... wood floor... i presume you need a pot with no drain holes .... rocks in teh bottom do not create drainage ...

get a new fancy pot with no holes ... and then get a matching black pot with holes ... that drains.. and then learn to water.. so you dont fill up the fancy pot ... its called a pot in pot system ...

you might also discuss good potting media ... in the other forum ... try to avoid MG if you can.. and dont reuse this stuff ...

when i had these types of houseplants.. they went outside in full shade all summer ... and just when they go out.. is a great time to repot ... this way.. they get the additional light for the growing season .. so they might look better when back in the house in winter .... full bright shade outdoors is better than anything indoors ...

ps: liana.. think tarzan.. lol ... darn gravity and all ...

Quite limited number of leaves being shown complicates identification, unless a very uniform sort the species may produce a range of shapes. And will of course flower at some point under suitable environmental circumstances, as most kinds of flowering plants do.

Ken,

Actually the floor is ceramic tile made to look like wood. For my other plants I utilize pots with drainage and a saucer underneath in order to catch any excess water.

This was a very hasty and Ill performed re pot utilizing what I believe to be a compromised bag of soil.Consistency was not what normally would be expected and there was significant mycelial growth along with fruiting bodies. I still decided to go through with it, against my own better judgement.

I am lucky that I have a southern exposed yard with plenty of full shade spots due to the growth of larger trees. This sounds like the best course of action. I am in zone 7 and we are having fairly warm temps for this time of year. I'm hoping to be able to put these guys out sometime around April.

Embothrium,

All of the leaves are uniform in shape. Some are smaller but look virtually identical in structure. I will try and upload a few more pictures.

Thank you so much.

Jacob

Hi Jacob.

any luck with id on this? I believe I have the same one. It is not emerald queen, as it has no red at all.. along with red emerald... no ruby colour.

I have narrowed it to either a green emerald or X Domesticum?

Domesticum
