New philodendron acquired! I don't know what kind it is exactly tho... Sorry for the sad peace lily it'll perk up in a day or so cuz I've been gone for a few days. Edit: other peace lily after watering. Last picture.

I want to say imperial maybe. But it also has a similar growth pattern to my Melinonii (but mines var mint)

Yes it's my 14th philodendron that is a mother plant that I will not sell and it looks really nice but has some weird root growth on the bottom. Thanks also, I did more research and I am thinking it is philodendron melinonii x erubescens "midnight queen"

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-03-21

That root growth is normal for several philodendron species, including melinonii

It seems to be their version of aerial roots. Most were removed on repot, but you can see the new ones starting
