Based on the stem and vein structure the plant appears to be a hybriized form of Philodendron erubescences. Common names include Red leaf Philodendron, Blushing Philodendron, Red Emerald Philodendron, Burgundy Philodendron and other hybrid names "erubescens" indicates red. The link below will tell you more. The species commonly has reddish blade undersides as well as reddish petioles along with a beautiful red inflorescence.

Hi Watergal! I used to run the nursery in the Philippines YEARS ago before I had to migrate here in US. This is how we think they are... first one is a Philodendron, second one is a 'curly bird's nest fern',third one is Philodendron 'Cardinal',fourth one is (I forgot already)like a Crinum as what my mother said, fifth is a Variegated Philodendron, sixth is 'Golden Sellum', seventh is what my mom calls Anthurium 'Renaissance' but she is not sure again today (hehehe). She just said that it could be another Philodendron. Bihai has ALWAYS been so helpful. My mother and I are so grateful for this forum and people who make this forum alive. Happy Gardening to all!

I’m not sure if I have the same plants as the rest of you, but mine send to look similar to the first picture. I’ve had it for years but it doesn’t get much larger than it is because the leaves continue to turn yellow, gets small spots, or the new leaves bloom with a partial brown shriveled leaf. There also seems to be some brown sticky substance, as though someone splashed Coke or Pepsi on the leaves! The small spots are creepy to me, but uncertain what to do for it. Has anyone got a clue? I’m past desperate! Thank you!
