Philodendron squamipetiolatum

Reading the bad reviews i was scared i would end up with a dead plant, but it shipped surprisingly well. It does have some mechanical damage to the leaves, but it was to be expected. It arrived rather wet in a bag, so I left it to dry in a well ventilated room to avoid any fungal infections. The roots were in good shape. It's also rather tall, i potted it up in aroid mix and gave it a moss pole and it's as tall as my tallest pole. I've been keeping it next to the humidifier that goes on at night with a layer of moss on top of the medium and it's thriving so far. Indeed, the petioles aren't very fuzzy.

I love this plant and it juts is a very poor shipper. I bought a second one thinking it was just the pant but 2 for 2 not good. So sad because I really love the look of this plant.

I ordered 2 of these and they did not ship well. They both completely died by the next day. They also didn't even have the fuzzy petioles.
