Re: Philodendron polypodioides

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.
