Philodendron: Bud or New Leaf?
Comments (36)I think this may explain the red "dye." I was checking to see if this leaf would come free of its' sheath yet, which it did. Then I started tearing away the sheath and it made my fingers red. The tip was full of red juice but lower, it was white and more dry inside. Holding the removed sheath: Excavating further: New leaf is so pretty! It should finish unrolling soon. My prior experience with Philos has been limited to heart-leaf so I've never watched the formation of a leaf this big until this plant, but it did have the same shape as your "pod" and that's definitely what it is, a beautiful new leaf. Is this the first time a new leaf has grown since you've had that plant? This is the plant from "aroid I don't know" thread in case you don't recognize it....See Morephilodendron leaves grow out ripped on one side
Comments (21)Here's a new roller emerging, it's wedged in there really tight! Sometimes I tease them of some EE, I just can't resist, sometimes I rip one a bit, the damage isn't even remotely similar! I realize this looks alot different than the philo in question, but the scaring along the edge, although smooth on my EE and very toothed and jagged on the philo, looks very similar, to me atleast. I'd like to understand it better, there's ALOT of variables, but I notice it most when it's hot and I'm fertilizing ALOT, so the plants are growing extremely fast. I'd also to very respectfully disagree with rhizo_1, one of the joys I get from gardening is learning about my plants, and attempting to understand them, we all garden for different reasons and in different ways. It's also not very attractive, if something's messing up my plant I want to fix it! I do think you could be onto something, I'm referring to the use of growth regulators or other chems in a large scale greenhouse operation, that, or the fact that it's growing conditions have changed dramatically over the past weeks or months, could have a dramatic affect on a plant! Aroids also react differently to many chems that could be used in the setting they were in. Time for more experimentation!...See MoreGarden philodendron butchered :'(
Comments (11)you can easily see... the scars from where all older leaves were removed during its life ... it looks like they just took the next batch ... but for one or two ... which i suspect were the browning ones ... you cant change the genetic predisposition of the plant.. thru hopes and wishes... it is.. what it is ... keep in mind.. ALL evergreen plants.. shed leaves.. and it is always the oldest ... the stubs they left will eventually drop off ... your project for next year ... is to figure out... what to plant around it ... to hide the trunk.. if you wish ... convert the common name to latin... after getting a full latin name.. and look to google images.. to see the future of your plant ... i suspect.. it has a name beyond just philodendron.. there are probably hundreds of variation on the theme ... if you cut it down to about 6 inches... you will rejuvenate it back into the bush you want .... that would be up to you ... good luck with the new house and garden ken...See MoreGiant philodendron fell over
Comments (8)I have only grown this when I lived in Hawaii and we considered them an attractive nuisance plant that would eat your house if you turned your back on it and took a nap. One could do anything to it and it would not die. I imagine that one could cut the top off and it would grow roots where there are already roots growing from it. They are naturally a hugely thick vine that is looking for a fat Palm , any tree to climb up and strangle.The below part will send off new growth points. , but wait for others because my experience is from when I grew them in a tropical area. I had an awful experience when I moved here from Hawaii and lopped off a precious ti plant that was leggy and awful in my opinion and it died. In hawaii it would have sent out many branches and the treatment would have made it thrive. I am no longer a knowledgable person on the subject of tropical plants....See Moreasleep_in_the_garden
