I like the accent. And the plant too. I typically like more compact growth pattern but I can see in my head this plant in front of another plant as some kind of arrangement.
I have several phil. elegans and I am certain that this is one. I was skeptical as well in the beginning, but as it matures it forms the typical thinner leafs. In its earlier growth stages it is very difficult to distinguish between other philodendrons.
Hi there thanks for your comment…i totally agree that philodendrons are true shapeshifters when it comes to the shape of their leaves…mine was sold to me as an elegans so it makes sense that that is what this plant is😀
no, this isnt P. elegans, you can tell because the young laeves in Philodendron elegans start out much thinner and longer, and then first turn into an elongated oak-like leaf before getting evenly thin extensions, that narrow down only at the tips. This one is much too broad at the main leaf-vein I do have 3 real P. elegans, a P. mayoy, P. radiatum, P. tortum, etc. so i know what i am talking about. But dont feel bad there are many Philodendrons like yours circulating under the wrong name. You can distinguish P. elegans from others by a black ring that marks the transition from the petiole to the leaf. This might be P. radiatum in its vining habit when grown in low light, though leaves should get much, much larger in higher light
@@zenuskamacata4618 Its true that there are many resembling philodendrons with this leaf shape…I would actually be happy if you were richt since I do not own the 2 species that you mention😁
hi there thanks for your comment…well it was definedly sold to me as an elegans; the leaves on my plant are not adult leaves, so i will wait for big adult leaves to be sure, as philodendrons change leaf shape as they mature…we will see!
@@houseplantheavenorhell8438 Yes you're right. They are in a hurry sometimes I guess,or got no knowledge at the flower store,because I got plant with the wrong name on a couple of times. My Alocasia Polly was a Alocasia Amazonica for example. 😅🤔

Hi, thanks for commenting, the accent is Belgian 😆…i am propagating this plant so it is more compact now!
I had an elegans and this plant's leaf top is too broad.
Thanks for sharing ❤
thanks for the comment, this plant was sold to me as an elegans, but with philodendrons sometimes you can’t be sure 😝
I would like to get a piece of that beautiful plant.
This is philodendron mayoi not a elegans
it was sold to me as an elegans, but since many philodendron species might have different appearances you might be right😁
I just ordered a cutting.
hey, thanks for your comment, i like your channel, if you lived in my country i d be happy to offer you one😊
@@houseplantheavenorhell8438 thanks so much!
You re very welcome mister

This doesnt seem like elegans to me
hi, thanks for the comment, it is an elegans indeed, u can see the pics of it on the Ecuagenera website
@@houseplantheavenorhell8438 Well the ending of the leafs are a bit too sharp for elegans this looks more like maoi or bob cee to me 😄

@@zenuskamacata4618 Yes,this can not be elegans. 🧐
This is not elegans! 🤔

@@houseplantheavenorhell8438 I bought one elegant stick online from a private seller. That's why I came across your video. 😊
you are right it is not
