About Philodendron 'Fuzzy Petiole'
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! ❄️

Failed leaves #Philodendron I am at a loss with my philo melano. It has several failed leaves and I'm not sure why. It sits about a foot from west window and a bit off to side so not getting direct sun. Any ideas? I haven't had a new leaf in probably 6 months and the last one that actually developed is smaller than previous ones. Btw I live in Arizona, so not sure if maybe it's my dry air.

Isn't he gorgeous!? 😱😱😍 Yes, I have an addiction. I was at Lowe's this morning and saw a pitcher plant (in comments) and wanted to get it for my boyfriend but didn't. We were on the phone a couple of hours ago talking about it and I could tell he was bummed (even though he said he couldn't afford it right now) so I went back to see if it was still there. Of course it wasn't 😣 Then I saw this beautiful boy and I couldn't resist 😳😳😅🤣 #philodendron #happyplants #thewateringhole #whiteknightphilodendron

Thrips! Today I noticed tiny black specks moving around on my golden croc philo, knocked one off and captured a pic under a microscope, and google confirmed it’s an adult thrip! 😩😩😩 I’ll hit it with the neem spray #TheWateringHole taught me and maybe alternate with Cap Jacks weekly. I’ve been battling thrip larva on some other plants but finding adults is a first. 😭 Here are my questions: 1) I counted maybe 5, definitely less than 10 adults. All on one plant. How quickly can this infestation explode??? 2) I know I’m supposed to quarantine it, but I really don’t have the space. How far can these things fly? Would the opposite side of a large room be far enough? #thrips #PestControl #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SlinkyFivespot8 #help

When do crawlers start crawling? This Philodendron was sold as a Gloriosum, and I tend to believe it given how every new leaf is 20-30% larger than the last. It was a 2in baby when I got it, it's in a 4in pot now. Putting on new leaves regularly, but seems to be growing more like it's self-heading or a climber. I think I heard that's not terribly abnormal when they're young just curious at what size it should become clear if it's really a Gloriosum or perhaps something else.

Need to transition from water to soil #Philodendron I have a pitcher with Philodendron propogations that have been living in water for a year. I originally was just babysitting the props for my mom while she was out of state for a month last June but then I just never gave them back 😳😅 I've wanted to move them into a hanging basket for a long time but my boyfriend says it's really hard to switch from water to soil, especially after so long. I REALLY want to pot them but I'm afraid of killing them. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to accomplish a transplant safely?? 🙏

New leaf is emerging before the last one had a chance to fully harden off. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #RarePlants #TropicalPlants

The delivery service put this in my mailbox rather than bringing it to my house. Essentially, this plant was in an oven for a day before I could get it. I think it's beyond rescuing. Any ideas? #Philodendron
