Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Philodendron Tuxtlanum is a climbing philo. The seed that were sold to me were labeled Tuxula, but I am not sure if it is this exact species. These seeds have shown lots of variation in each seedling, some have green under the leaves while have others pink and some deeper red. The leaves can be thick or softer. The leaves can also be fairly wide or in other cases long and narrow. So no two plants are exactly alike. For a hobbyist this can make it hard to let go if all the plants are unique. The mature hastate leaves are glossy and green. New leaves are glossy with red undersides.
