_Posted by Jordan on 2024-03-30_

Does anyone know what this plant is? It was sold to me as a melanochrysum back in November. I got it as a plug. Now that it is starting to get bigger, I am questioning if it’s the right ID. Especially with the petioles I am getting now.

Appreciate any help or clarification!

Philodendron Verrucosum?

#### Jordan replied on 2024-03-30

That’s what I thought it was looking like too! I’m just not very familiar with them to know.

Same. There are a few crosses with verrucosum too.. El choco red comes to mind but this doesn’t look like a red. It’s beautiful whatever it is!

I’ll have to look up different crosses, thank you for the help!

This plant is so pretty! I actually think I’m glad I didn’t get the melanochrysum lol I always hear about people having issues with them sizing up and this one is doing really good considering how small it is!
