I had the name of this plant before but now for the life of me I can’t remember what it’s called. I’m trying to scan it in but Planta isn’t pulling anything that looks like it. 😭 does anyone by chance know? I also have a baby of the same plant.

I agree but those leaves have detailed veins mine have almost like a glossy sheen over them

#### Crazy plant lady replied on 2026-01-22

Then yes I would agree on the burly max variation

She sure is pretty! Definitely 💯 P. Burl Marx variegated. The A. Frydek while the color is similar , leaf shape and leaf texture isn’t the same. This has different shaped leaves that an Alocasia and Frydek has velvet leaves. glossy leaves has Philodendron Burl Marx jumping out at us.

Look at those beautiful leaves! I love how many yours have

Your leaves are big and beautiful. Congratulations on your P. Burl Marx adoption. Happy growing.

Thank you I’m glad she’s made it this far with me I’ve had some rough months and lost majority of my collection except her and my small one!

#### Aroidmama replied on 2026-01-27

Aw, thank you. She’s going through a rough patch. But she’ll bounce back.
