Planto

What type of light will it get? Toni

Yeah, I was pretty impressed with the colors, too.

Your PP is much brighter than mine. Did you have light aiming on your Philo when you snapped the picture?

Here's mine. Got two small PP's. One around 2000, bought on Ebay, the second in 2009 purchased locally.

Wonder how much light and humidity yours got at PJ's.
I like your PP much better than mine, lol. Yours has a lot more pink.

Marj,...the longer you're on GW, you'll find you want many more plants...lol.

I didn't use any artificial light when taking the pic.....just took it outside, late afternoon, overcast sky.

Do you have a Philodendron Prince of Orange? I got this one about 1.5 years ago.

If I unraveled PP, it'd be tall, but spindly, however, I pruned the top back last month.
Remember, there are two PP's potted together..one, 12-yrs, possibly older.
I purchased the second PP to look compact.

No, don't have Prince of Orange. Yours is so pretty..Love the way new leaves grow orange/red. Should I get one? lol.

Elkay, 'X' years back, I lost interest in Philos. I decided to give most to a girl who had very few plants. I kept 5 or so, plus cuttings, gave her 27, including a Prince of Orange.

6-7 years ago, the interest returned. lol. Gradually, I'd purchase a rare or variegated Philo.
Problem is space..some grow huge.

One Philo I kept was purchased at Black Jungle in the mid-90's. I don't know its species. In fact, I'm going to start a thread, explain and show pics. Hopefully, someone knows its type.

Anyway, your Prince is lovely. What size is its pot?

Hope you find out the name of your mystery philo.

Mine get repotted when there's more roots than soil, in spring.

I wish someone knew the mystery Philo, too. I might write to BJ, see if they recall the name. Think they're out of town now so it'll have to wait.

It could be something else, fo' sho'. There are so many Philos, it was just my guess. If the orange new leaf is an anomaly, that probably indicates it's something else.

Starting to have serious regret over not even asking how much for the plain green flowering section. I'm sitting here missing it pretty bad somehow. That can't be part of the same plant, and those hot pink flowers were amazing! I think that might have been Philo 'Moonlight'.

Either way, the giant plant no doubt blew me away!! Not the kind of thing you usually see at a store.

I knew I was home even before I saw that, somebody there obviously loves plants, it's not just a store. Can't say enough about how good it felt to just be at such a place for the first time in the better part of a decade, let alone seeing a lot of plants that I didn't know what they were, that "exploring the jungle" sensation.

So the dark red/burgundy Philo I mentioned burns really easily and I'm assuming this plant is likely to also. I think they would look smashing planted together, will do that while repotting stuff, one less pot too. That one grows really slowly too, about 1 leaf per 5-7 weeks.
