Philodendron polypodioides
|
From: BIHOREL at cris.com (Christian Feuillet) on 1997.01.12 at 20:25:35(110)
Hi to all the Philo fans,
My Philodendron polypodioides is growing VERY slowly, I mean less than 5
inches in a year. It is in a greenhouse, with 80% humidity.
Anybody has experience with this one?

Christian: I think that P. polypodioides is just an abberant P.
pedatum. The latter is a highly variable species. I wonder if this
"form" has some inherant genetic problem and that this could be the
reason why it grows so slowly.

In re: slow growth. about 12 years ago I got a nicely rooted largeleaf cut
of something yclept 'Monstera deliciousa'Salt and Pepper'. The leaves are
thick, about 3X normal, and the coloring is grayish because of the
minutewhitish mottlings, very subtle. In that span of time, other vining
arouds have lept into greenhouse rafters, have been pulled down, hacked to
bits, propagated and gone on to lead productive lives. this thing now has
10 leaves, and I am thinking of maybe tryig a few air layers. The
conservative route. is anybody familiar with this thing? Is it maybe a
polyploid? doesn't look delicate. just s l o w.

I've been very slow to answer this one. Please excuse me.
Actually the plant grew very well last year and I gave rooted cuttings away.
Only since July is it at a stand still. Still nicely green, but waiting for
something that obviously was not Summer, Fall or Winter. Let's hope it will
be Spring. Or maybe it is behaving like it should in strong light, waiting
for blooming season, if I am authorized a sweet dream.
Never seen the inflorescence. The whole plant is much smaller than the P.
pedatum I collected in French Guiana too. I would say 3-4 time skinnier and
more elegant, nearly delicate with leaf-lobes 3-5 mm wide.

Dear Christian: Continue to monitor this plant. The fact that I have
never seen this thing in flower is what makes me suspicious that it is
just a juvenile or preadult form of P. pedatum, but I honestly can't say
for sure. If it ever does flower for you please photograph it.

I promise to take a photograph and make a specimen.
