About Camposportoanum Velvet Shield
Philodendrons grow aerial roots that grip the bark of trees, allowing them to grow over 20 feet tall! Their leaves change shape as they climb and can grow larger than a dinner plate. Fossils show Philodendrons growing as far back as 30 million years ago when South America was still connected to Antarctica! āļø

Have you tried air layering? Thought to try this with my Campos. With spaghnum and saran wrap. Its been only 3days but great progress. The leaf that hasnt harden grew bigger. A new leaf is unfurling and another on the way. Gonna wait til the root is established before I cut #propagation #airlayering #philodendron

(Repost) What is Twilight? 'Rojo Congo', POO, 'Red Sun', etc? I made a repost because I was almost certain my original post was buried, plus I did some more digging to try to find out what the heck Twilight was. In this repost, each image has a number (so it becomes a lot easier to discuss). In the text, I will add a number in parenthesis to determine which picture to refer to. My closest guess was 'Rojo Congo', but I don't think it's fully accurate (See 5 for 'Rojo Congo' description). You see, Twilight seemingly wants to climb or crawl because there are aerial roots extending from the stem into the ground, maintaining a mostly horizontal (2) shape rather than upright ('Rojo Congo' trait, 5). Plus, her leaves are arrowhead-shaped (1 and 3) like the 'Rojo Congo' (5). To add to difficulty, her new leaf isn't unfurled completely yet, so we cannot be sure on color (4). What do you guys think? I'm already quite stumped. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #plantcorner #plantlove #iloveplants #newgrowth #planttlc #greggang #adhdplantlovers #plantid #whatismyplant #philodendron #blushingphilodendron #philodendronprinceoforange #philodendronredsun #philodendronrojocongo

This new leaf on my Philodendron Birkin is going to be exquisite! I'm so glad the variegation is coming back, since it was nearly non-existent a month or so back. The red will fade eventually, but WOW will this leaf be beautiful!! P.S. I need to get to cleaning my leaves soon-- there's a bit of dust on them! #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newgrowth #propagationstation #planttherapy #plantcorner #philodendron #philoflock #birkin #variegatedplants #redcongo

I bought this blushing philodren at Walmart last week. I came home and stuck him in my tent until I could figure out where he would go inside. I brought him in the next day and now all his leaves are falling off. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #sadplant #philodendron #philoflock

#Philodendron Hello! Just got this little guy <2 weeks ago. Greg idād as a Brasil variety but I donāt think thatās right. It seemed dry when I opened it from shipment so I watered it, per the instructions with it. Greg is recommending watering 3/4 cup every 6 days. I just watered it today on that schedule. It looks worse than it did a few days ago. I thought these were supposed to be hard to kill! š¬ If I put it by the window it gets a few hours of sunlight a day. I moved it onto my kitchen table last week to see if it was getting too much sun.

What other plant parents say
Easy to grow as long as it has enough humidity to help itās new leaves unfurl. Camposportoanum will change their leaf shapes many times before reaching maturity. Beginning as little velvet heart shapes and eventually becoming much bigger and deeply tri-lobed. They lose their velvety look as they grow though, and for a while they produce a bit of a pink blush.
