The backside of the mature leaves has some reddish color as well.

im wondering if you need all those leaves on such a relatively small cutting .. they may just suck the life out of the cutting.. before it can root ..

just something to consider... after you get the ID ...

I'd say P. erubescens. I have a lot of it that looks a bit redder than those but there's a lot of variation in the species, some looking very red and others more green.

Yes, that looks correct! Thank you so much tropicbreezent! I feel very fortunate to have stumbled upon it. She sold me three very large cuttings for $1 each. Of course, she had a lot to share! But still. It was very generous of her.

Ken, the cutting is not small. It's huge! It must be the perspective of the photo. Plus it probably appears to be a regular glass in the photo, but that's actually a huge glass vase. They are at least 2 feet long and there are two cuttings. So no, I'm not going to remove any leaves. In fact, one of the cuttings has a new leaf unfurling. Well worth $1 each!

I did some more research and I'm starting to think this is Philodendron Tuxtlanum. The backside of the leaves matches the one I received.

I wish I knew for sure. But the person who had it didn't have any original information about it. Maybe Ken's Philodendrons could positively ID it.

The correct name for Philodendron tuxtlanum is Philodendron saggitifolium. (P. tuxtlanum became obsolete many years ago). Doing searches under the P. saggitifolium should give you a lot more information.

The new leaves of P. erubescens tend to be very red, then change to green as the leaf matures. Some photos of mine.

Wow amazing pics tropicbreezent! I just dream of tropical life! And thanks for the new information. I will read up on that.
