Iâm sorry for the multiple posts. For some reason I was not able to post more than one photo with a comment.

There are several philodendrons with similar shaped leaves. Iâm not going to pretend like I know all the distinguishing features đ But I think I know some. Florida green has slightly reddish petioles with a bumpy texture. Itâs a hybrid of of pedatum and squamiferum. Pedatum aka âglad handsâ has smooth green petioles. Squamiferum has hairy red petioles. Green dragon will have leaves that are longer than they are wide, but it might be hard to tell before the plant matures. Thereâs also bipennifolium aka âhorse head.â Their leaves also trend on the long side, but they have fewer lobes than green dragon. I think thatâs all the ones I know of. I hope that helps and doesnât just make it more complicated đ

Haha sorry! I get too into it sometimes. Petiole is the word for the stem that connect the leaf to the stalk/vine of the plant. Lobes are rounded shapes on the leaves. Like if a leaf is shaped like a heart đ, the round bumps that make up the top of the heart are two lobes
1 gillaThank you for the education. Mine appears to be a âFlorida Greenâ as labeled at purchase And further supported based on your description of the slightly reddish petioles with a bumpy texture. I learned something new! Iâm seeing upon closer look that my Florida Green doesnât seem to have the slight color variegation that TimGâs plant has. Iâll be more careful with identification going forward. This is geeky and fun.
1 gillaI did some searching and think it might be a philodendron squamiferum
