Re: [Aroid-l] Philodendron glaucophyllum

From: "Sherry Gates" TheTropix at msn.com> on 2006.05.15 at 16:34:44(14195) Hi Marek, How are ya doing? I am not an expert on anything, unlike most of you in the Aroid list. However, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by a 'good' species re: Ph. glaucophyllum. Do you mean a genuine species name or a good plant to grow? As far as I can tell, it's both! lol I have a few, including some that I aquired recently, and was told these new ones were a hybrid called 'Moon Glow'. The lady that owns the nursery said she has had these for several years. I can't find anything about that name, and it could be a name that was made up somewhere along the way, although it's bigger (older?) and has a prettier shape (maturity?) than the other glaucophyllums I have, which I admit are younger than the 'Moon Glow' ones. I've seen some that were the same size, height-wise, but one will have larger, shaplier leaves than the other. I haven't been able to find any information on +More the internet about hybrids involving P. glaucophyllum, but that sure doesn't mean there aren't (or are) any. It doesn't seem to be as fast a grower as some Philos, but beautiful when older. This link will take you to one of Brian's Botanicals Philo ID pages about Ph. glaucophyllum. http://www.cloudjungle.dns2go.com/DotNetNuke/DesktopDefault.aspx?&tabidG&path=Araceae/Philodendron/Philo%20Glauophyllum (there was a 'c' left out of the name) I hope this can help. :) Sherry (Texas zone 9a/b border) ----- Original Message ----- From: Abrimaal Sent: Monday, May 15, 2006 10:32 AM To: Discussion of aroids Subject: [Aroid-l] Philodendron glaucophyllum Hello, Is it a "good" species - Ph. glaucophyllum?
