Philodendron bipinnatifidum (Types seed grown Brazil) A few years ago I ordered some odd Meconostigma species of Philodendron seeds from Brazil. The seeds were grown out and it seems many of them were not the exact species offered. Many of them however were very odd and most look to be clones of Philodendron bipinnatifidum. I have grown out a hodgepodge of different foliage forms from these seeds. Some may have very thin foliage while other maybe very wide. I have uploaded photos of some of the odd foliage forms grown form this batch. Unfortunately I don't have the room to grow all the seedlings out to select the ones I like the most. So the rest of the seedlings will be offered here. It is hard to tell what the mature plants will look exactly like but no two plants have shown to be identical some maybe similar but all are unique. If you like the split leaf philodendrons and your looking for something other than the cloned form commonly sold at retail stores look no further. A handful of plants are left from this seed batch. I have a flickr account showing many of the different clones grown out from this seed batch http://www.flickr.com/photos/briansbotanicals/sets/72157603772099135/ Foliage: Large split leaves seed grown and foliage may vary between seedlings Flowers: Large green spath Height: 5 to 8 feet
