Re: Philodendron squamiferum bristles?

Hi Zach,

Thanks for your input! Florida / Florida Beauty doesn't have red petioles that I have seen. I'm including a couple pics - The bigger one is my pet, and the smaller one you can see the coloration much better. And last but not least, I got two variegated ones. Hope we can clear this up. Thanks! Jude

Jude,

Ordinarily the pubescens are pretty long and prominent. The photos you've seen online are not tricks of photography. There is a plant called Philodendron Florida (possible hybrid of P. squamiferum) which has a similar leaf shape to Philodendron squamiferum and has rough petioles. Do you have photos of your plants in question?

Is there some variation in P. squamiferum and its bristles?

I have some plants that were sold as P. squamiferum, and the petioles closer to the leaves are red, and rough, like sandpaper, but I don't see actual bristly hairs (yet?) Do they develop over time? Or, is a super zoom kind of fancy shmancy camera being used to show the bristles clearly on google images?

Best, Jude
