Did I find something special?
Is this a philodendron rio or just wishful thinking?

First look I thought its a philodendron brasil. A rio would be slightly longer and its more cream than yellow.

Thanks @Pegster it really is beautiful plant no matter what!! (And my brasil has definitely been been one of my most rewarding kiddos so I bought it anyway lol cuz why not!) ππ₯³π
Any tips on how to better spot the differences between the two? @PaleGreenThumb @melodey @Pegster @PlantMompy @calvina @RJG @Gordo @HoyaAddict
@motherofplants rios are more pointed and narrower leaves. The variegation more dramatic and less yellow. But these are sooooo gorgeous. I love the Brazil!
@motherofplants pretty sure itβs just a Brazil. @Sleepysunday has a fantastic link to look at.
Thanks again all! @Sleepysunday itβs so funny I actually read that article and thatβs what made me wonder / ask the grp π! The big box store lighting doesnβt do this baby justice. Itβs much less yellow, green, neon and more creamy silver.
I believe youβre all right, but had to see if maybe Iβd found some special/ fun sport var! (Always hopeful ππ€)
Much appreciated!!!! ππ
