Re: [Aroid-l] Philodendron hybrid

From: "John Criswick" <criswick at spiceisle.com> on 2014.10.04 at 15:19:52(23130) Thanks Brian. That sounds like a pretty educated guess. Was there not also a dieffenbachia ‘Bob See’? Did it not seem to be a forerunner of Dieffenbachia ‘Camille’? BTW Tom, I think there were two versions of Pluto; first the green and then the burgundy form. John.

Tricia gave me a nice large top cutting off her plant. I then tracked down it had been breed by Bob See. I was unable to find any info on the breeding of the plant or if he had put another name to it. So I sold the plant as Philo Bob See hybrid for many years. If I were to guess. I would think the plant was a hybrid of Philo lacerum or radiatum crossed with something with a narrower leaf maybe subhastatum or such. Just a guess on how it might have been made.

I seem to remember Pluto as being of a burgundy hue, also. I know nothing of the parentage of Bob See’s hybrid. I wonder if there is someone who does? John Banta, perhaps? John.

Here are photos of the hybrid philodendron he created. It is very slowly vining. This specimen was grown in shade but in sun it could vine even more slowly and be more chunky.
