Can't identify tiny plant

5 years ago

last modified: 5 years ago

I purchased a few plants the other day, this among them, i have no idea what it is, but my best guestimate is a nepenthes...but i couldn't find any results showing the same center in the leaves that this plant has. Sadly there was no labeling, just a website next to the barcode, but that was a fruitless endeavor as the website held very little info for anything. Any input is greatly appreciated :)

Well....I think i identified it anyway, but input is still appreciated. I'm like 90% sure it's philodendron erubescens. I'm slightly bummed by the identification as i'm not particularly fond of aroids, especially the trailing ones. However, I'm still excited to have this little baby philo, and i think i may do a totem pole for it, i've never done that for a plant before (due to laziness, hence i don't do trailing aroids....), but lately i've been on a kick for plant projects, so we'll see.

Wild grape? (Vitis riparia) Not sure. By the way, that's the dreaded buckthorn to the left. Please dig it out ASAP and watch for other seedlings. (Also research "invasive buckthorn") Here is a link that might be useful: wild grape

Wow thanks for the quick response. Know anything about this particular subspecies of Plectranthus? Or am I already pushing the bounds of your knowledge. I've looked all over the internet and it's baffling how little there is written about it.

For sure it's a very baby Philodendron - almost too baby to be certain what.

Agree with Philodendron. It looks like a self-header to me. Should be more like a shrub than a vine. If so, it won't be a trailing plant or need a support.
