Philodendron rugapetiolatum

I've never seen this plant in person before today... It was love at first sight. It's a lot glossier than it looks in photos. My plant was HUGE, 5 green leaves, one measuring 29 cm from tip to base. Robust, hardy root system too, does not like drying out! Definitely get this one if you like longer leaves and long internodes ;)

Was excited for the beautiful corrugated texture of the leaves, unfortunately arrived with yellow leaves and stem damage from the journey. Roots had browned in dry moss, while the rest of the order remained damp. I remained hopeful for the emerging green growth point, kept medium moist, in high humidity with air flow, bright indirect. Unusually, the rugapetiolatum (all remnants brown) could not recover like the more vigorous plants I've acclimated from Ecuagenera.

Such a beautiful plant with stunning leaf texture. Arrived with some yellowing leaves. Seems to be recovering well and starting to grow.
