Thanks for sharing your experience with the plowmanii, I'll definitely need to adjust trajectory with mine from that info. I was able to get a top cutting of a Philodendron plowmanii for 40CAD while visiting a private seller to buy two other Philodendrons. I was really struck by it and didn't even know about it back then but the price was good so I gave in quite easily. The thing is, I recall that the seller was growing it as a climbing Philodendron (with some success), albeit not climbing straight so I did plant it as such (since I found some conflicting information about that online, I decided to do it the way she'd been doing it) and I have to say it isn't doing good even three months later. It did root and shot a new leaf and a half and then it stopped growing and is now slowly getting paler so I took it away from my grow light, which helped, but it still isn't growing. I guess I'll repot it horizontally as a last resort because I really don't want this one to die on me!
Ohhhh wow, yeah I saw the same conflicting info and to be fair I should have mentioned on the video I tried to grow it up originally and suffered with similar issues as you, it did take a whole after I transitioned it to horizontal for it to find its feet, but when it did, it really did grow quite nicely
I keep reading this is a crawling plant but mine seems to be climbing! Still very small in comparison so maybe it will sort itself out. Great video cheers
Yeah I kept reading conflicting articles about that too. Both that and this and my mamei I tried growing up a pole and they did OK when more juvenile, but they both showed my quite quickly as they matured that they wanted to crawl and I did that and they seem happier now
Thanks for sharing! I find that Plowmanii is very different from each plant (maybe this is due to cross breeding). I have 2 as well, and 1 tends to be more lengthy with heavily silver leaves, leaves are more long shape, seems like it want to climb up something, it has ruffle as well so that exclude my thought that it is a mamei (but probably a crossbreed between Plowmanii x Mamei). The other one is more dark and greenish leaves with less silver variegation, leaves are more rounded and pillow-ish, the leaves and nodes are much closer. I got both as well since at one point one seemed to die (but then came back to life magically). I was too soon and too obsessed to get the second one.
Gorgeous plant!! 😍 Have you noticed any differences in your Plowmanii? I got one, very yellow leaves, small I didn’t think it would live so I bought a second one. The first one is shaped just like yours an the other one seems more round. Their not very big so maybe maturity?
Hmmm 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 both of mine are quite similar in shape, but my second one hardly has any silver. I think there is a different form of the plowmanii, that one might be more round 😊💚🌿 nevertheless such awesome plants
Have you ever cut the one you have shown on camera? Mine is only a year old and the stem, while crawling in a long Lechuza pot in Pon, is much, much longer. The petioles are much shorter. Leaves are not quite as big as yours. And yours has blooms, mine does not. And although it is very close to my Hoya collection ( = mealy bugs), they don't touch it. But gosh, spider mites gravitate towards it. Need to repot mine. It has outgrown the pot by at least 10 cm stem length and I am not sure how to move forward. Even the longest Lechuza pot won't hold it for longer than half a year, a year if I am lucky.
Not cut the one that you saw on camera, but I am about to air layer and cut it before moving it into a longer pot for sure as it really isn't stable in the current pot. Interesting on the spidermites front, I think i am fortunate in the conservatory due to the higher humidity I don't tend to suffer from them too much so maybe that's why.
I absolutely adore this anthurium.
It‘s a Philodendron.

It's so pretty! 😍

Ahhh very interesting, I had a very similar experience, actually more or less identical, so good to see it was not just me 😁
I use rectangular pots for my crawlers(and don't need inflos) but you make a point about keeping some root "pressure"🤷♀️
Yep mine are going in rectangular pot soon, just started it in a round pot

I also have two one of which is much more rounded and one that apparently likes climbing 🤔 I kind of enjoy when they do their own thing anyway 😉
What causes the yellowing on these leaves? i just bought one that is starting to do that.
Are extra floral nectaries edible?
I am not 100% sure as I have never wanted to try them, but I would say maybe avoid, if you ever use and organic or systemic pesticides on your plants
