I'm still checking Martina, and I still
only see a few blemished leaves, which is amazing at 27 degrees. I may
have a
microclimate going tho, since my acre has 50 oak trees and a 6 foot
wall on the property line. My outdoor Aroids are
under several large oaks, a type that doesn't drop all it's leaves in
the winter, probably live oak. So this enclosed area
may have been slightly warmer than the 27 I logged at the house, but I
can't imagine it helping more than 2 or 3 degrees.
Hopefully you'll just have leaf damage and stems will still be viable
to produce more growth. Always a sad sight seeing all
those frozen, mushy leaves tho. Been there, done that, I remember many of the winters in the 90s when I had 18 and 19 degrees overnight
here.
Your last name is familiar, have we traded before?
Thanks for the note,
Russ

You're lucky then, Russ. It was 28 degrees here in Plant City,
FL when I left for work. Not sure how long it was
at that temp, but I took a hit on my Aroids and
tropicals.....the ones I could not cover. From what I could tell, it
looks like mostly
leaf damage, but I wasn't home in time yesterday to see what the
second day brought or to uncover anything. This included my
Alocasia Macs which are generally pretty hardy.

Eric, I had 27 in my
back yard, just north of Lake Mary near I-4 and SR 46 intersection.
But I see very little freeze damage to my outdoor tropicals, so I guess
it wasn't down at
the really cold temp long enough.

We only got down to 31F for an hour or so, so I doubt
the plants were bothered at all. Judging from the size
of the clump and age of the neighborhood they were
probably planted early to mid 1970's. They would have
survived the 3 big freezes in the 1980s, esp. 12/89
when there were 2 nights at 19-20F here. They probably
froze to the ground as a majority of the P.
bipinnatifidum and P. x evansii did at that time.
I thought P. eichleri was a species not a hybrid. Kew
lists it as a synonum for P. undulatum.

Dear Eric,
After tossing your photo around, some buddys and I
have come to the conclusion that the plants in
question are P.X "Eichelrii" (pronounced Eck-ler-ii)
which together with P. X "Evansii" are a couple of
the OLD Meconostigma (self-heading) hybrids made
back in the 50`s (?) and 60`s. Plants with this
name are clearly pictured in old Exoticas. It must
have great resistance to cold, and it would be
greatly appreciated if you could re-visit these
plants now that the severe cold snap has passed and
give us a report on how they fared.
The Best,
Julius
Its definitely not P. xanadu. These plants are 5-6
ft.
tall. The leaves are 2-3 ft. long.

Xanadu gone wild ! No way is that Xanadu. I
think it
resembles somewhat P. x evansii, an invalid name
that
might better be written P. 'Evansii'. This is
much
seen in older Miami gardens, but the one in the
photo
seems more compact and in some way different.
John.

I found this clump of a self heading
Philodendron in
an older neighborhood. Can't tell if it is a
form of
P. bipinnatifidum (selloum) or a different
species
or
hybrid. Any ideas?
