Philodendron Bipennifolium Aurea

What is the plant

This one is kind of a big deal…This is the gold form of the climbing Philodendron bipennifolium positively glows! The leaves seem to get less than 20″ or so and the normal green form is found in Brazil, Ecuador, French Guiana and Brazil, and Peru. The leaf shape does vary quite a bit, with juvenile leaves looking much different from mature leaves. This is quite a find and I used to have a white variegated splashed form that was beautiful, but lost it years ago. The plants we have available at this time have leaves about 4-5″ long
