last modified: last year
Hi all,
I have this philodendron melanochrysum noID for sale locally. Is it actually a noID or is this one of those overpriced plants you see more regularly nowadays (it's priced 300 dollars)? I like it a lot but don't want to pay extensively much for something more common than advertised.
See attached pictures!

Comments (3)Hi, I have some rooted/rooting cutting from my split leaf huge plant. Not sure of it's real name, but it is a vine with 12-16" leaves that are split.

Then one thing or another happened, and for some reason the philo got covered up from casual site and I forgot about it. Months later, I noticed an "unknown" philo climbing up the wall. It was the SB Shortcake, now really big, doing its thing. Chaos Theory of Gardening....See MorePhilodendron melanochrysum
Comments (4)Yes that's what happened to me. However after having grown the true melanochrysum it was obvious that it wasn't the real thing. The problem with buying immature philodendrons is that the leaves are very different from their mature form which gives unprincipled traders the opportunity to sell misnamed species that the uninitiated will not be aware of until too late. I know they are readily available in the States but the cost/legal requirements make it an unrealistic route. I will keep looking. Tell...See MoreRelated Professionals
