These cultivars of philodendron have bright coppery-orange leaves, which fades to pale green as the plant matures.
Philodendron speciosum is native to the jungles of a small part part of N. W. Brazil and adjacent Bolivian lowlands. It vies with P. bipinnatiffidum as producing the largest (and showiest) leaves of all the many Philodendron species... even larger that P. giganteum! The massive, almost Alocasia-like, but thick textured leaves, similar to P. giganteum, develop distinctly scalloped wavy edges and grow from an upright "trunk", almost like a palm, complete with basal prop roots. They become one of the most striking tropical plant statements imaginable! Calling P. speciosum the "King of Philodendrons" would be very reasonable.
Philodendron squamiferum is easy to recognise by the combination of very hairy and red petioles, with a unique leaf shape.
This narrow-leaved plant was one of earliest Philodendron hybrids, and it even won an award at an International Aroid Society show.
The leaf blades are 4ft or more long, with petioles of about the same or greater length. The plant grows very large.
The plant prefers light shade and cool climates due to it's native habitat, much of which is in the Andes Mountains of South America. Although the plant is often grown potted by collectors it does not show its beauty by running across the ground. The true beauty and blade size will only be seen if you allow it to climb.
Usually found in rather dry or sometimes moist or wet forest, generally growing on rocks but sometimes epiphytic.
The large fruits are very sweet and juicy.
Xanadu philodendron is an ideal landscape plant to create tropical look. It is very undemanding, easy, and super rewarding plant that takes wide range of conditions and needs very little water. It makes it very valuable landscape plant and a must for every tropical garden. A Philodendron that is delightful to grow indoors and outdoors as it does not climb and therefore needs no support. Dense clumps of beautifully lobed leaves that add lushness to any area. The plant will grow to 3-5 ft in height and width. It prefers semi-shade but can tolerate full sun, provided it is given some protection from the afternoon sun.
Watering during winter should be kept to a minimum. In summer the plants should be kept moist, but not wet.
Epipremnum aureum Lime Gold (Neon) is a rarer form of the Epipremnum with lime green leaves. A vibrant yellow statement piece is this stunning heart leaf Epipremnum that produces long vines and works well in a hanging basket or trailing out of a pot; it can be also grown on a stake or trellis. This Epipremnum prefers moist but well-drained soil and some humidity.

It is a liana growing to 60 ft tall, with stems up to 1,5 in diameter, climbing by means of aerial roots which hook over tree branches. The leaves are evergreen, alternate, heart-shaped, marbled with creamy white or gold, entire on juvenile plants, but irregularly pinnatifid on mature plants, up to 3 ft long and 18 in broad.
It is a popular very hardy houseplant with numerous cultivars selected for leaves with white, yellow, or light green variegation.
Plant is said to bring good luck and prosperity in the house.
This species has been assigned to a number of genera. In 1880 when it was first described, it was named Pothos aureus, which is in part why it is often commonly referred to as a "pothos". After a flower was observed in 1962, it was given the new name of Raphidophora aurea. However, after closer examination of the flower, researchers noticed its heightened similarity to Epipremnum pinnatum and synonymised it with that species. Only after further observations of all parts of the plant, including the leaves and growing patterns, was it again separated from E. pinnatum, as E. aureum.
The plant has a multitude of common names including golden pothos, Ceylon creeper, hunter's robe, ivy arum, house plant, money plant, silver vine, Solomon Islands ivy, marble queen, and taro vine. It is also called devil's vine or devil's ivy because it is almost impossible to kill and it stays green even when kept in the dark. It is sometimes mistakenly labeled as a Philodendron in plant stores. It is commonly known as money plant in many parts of the Indian subcontinent. It rarely flowers without artificial hormone supplements; the last known spontaneous flowering was reported in 1964.
The plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Monstera adansonii is similar to Monstera obliqua but Monstera obliqua and Monstera adansonii are not the same species. There are many hybrids in cultivation between Monstera adansonii and Monstera obliqua.
Monstera obliqua leaves are as thin as a sheet of paper, when adansonii leaves are a bit rough. Obliquas leaves consist mostly of holes. Adansonii leaves are not as longitindial as obliqua's. The holes in adansonii cover generally half of the adult leaf.
