Hey there,

I'm looking for a small, 10 gallon tank suitable aroid or other neotropical plant that is lance-leafed with a growth habit similar to Philodendron Wend-Imbe or Anthurium bakerii. I have a niche in mind for my viv but can't quite pinpoint a suitable species...trying to get away from spade or heart shaped leafed aroids and more to clumping climbers that are aesthetically appealing as a bushy-ish aroid with attractive juvenile leaves. I'm thinking maybe just trying to get a bushy specimen of A. scandens small-leafed form. Preferably longer, narrower leaves that are grown fairly close together. A bit of a strange and vague request but I'd appreciate any input anyways.

Thanks in advance,
Andy

There is a miniature version of Red Empress that might work for you if you can find it.

Syngonium rayii is a very attractive species that isn't too difficult to find. I have it grow as a longgggg vine and then clumpy mass, somewhat spade shaped leaves, but they are a bit more elongated than others. It stays rather small also

Here are a couple I have growing in 10 gallons.

First is a noid Philo I got from Black Jungle way back when they used to only have frogday in San Jose.

Second is a "mini" Philo I got from Ecuador, most leaves are an inch in length or so.

Third is Marcgravia, small leaves but it will grow like crazy once it gets established.
