Dwarf Philodendrons

fieldnstream · #1 (**permalink**) 12-10-2011, 01:07 AM

Hey All,
I have been trying to find some more types of dwarf philos and I'm not having much luck. I have a bunch of "wendimbe" and it is one of my favorite viv plants, so I hope to be able to find a few more similar types. So far I have found "mini red empress" mentioned, but can't find any for sale. I have also seen "prince of orange" used, but I know it will get big over time...I still may try it though. Anyone had any experience with any other similar types (i.e. clumping not vining) that would be good? Anyone know of a good source for some small philos?
Thanks,
Field

i got it from Al last year. he got it from an exporter in southeast asia (as i remember). i was told that myself and only a handful of others had it.
the leaves end up at about 5 inches long and 1 inch wide, but IME it stays pretty short.
