# I’m very excited to find this gigantic I’m pretty positive…

_Posted by Kiki on 2025-08-11_

I’m very excited to find this gigantic I’m pretty positive philodendron but have no idea what type. The new leaves are variegated and the older ones the variegation has faded on some leaves and completely gone on others. It’s gotta be 8ft long. Aerial roots are 12-16 inches long. She’s an old one. I would live any help on identifying and also the care it might need and like. She was in the shady corner of a greenhouse. Please help!!!

I’m not great at identifying or even pronouncing any plant names but it looks similar to a plant I have. Not sure if this helps! Happy to send over this plant details too

I think it’s a philodendron paraiso verde?
