Philodendron plowmanii

Philodendron plowmanii is an Araceae species with broad green leaves, raised venation and winged petioles on a creeping terrestrial stem. The blades can show silver-green patterning across the surface, while the textured petioles give the plant a wide, distinctive look as each new leaf expands.

In a pot, Philodendron plowmanii needs room across the substrate surface. The stem crawls forward as it grows and can broaden steadily across a wide container. A wider pot gives the stem and petioles space to spread across the mix.

Winged petioles and crawling growth in Philodendron plowmanii

  • Family: Araceae, the aroid family.
  • Leaf shape: Broad green blades with a quilted surface effect from the venation.
  • Petioles: Winged petioles add texture and width around the creeping stem.
  • Pattern: Silver-green surface markings can appear across the blade, depending on the individual plant.
  • Growth habit: A creeping terrestrial Philodendron that needs horizontal space at substrate level.
  • Indoor spread: Can broaden steadily across a wide pot as the crawling stem produces spaced nodes.
  • Growth rate: Usually moderate in warm, bright, humid conditions, with slower growth during cooler darker periods.
  • Pest watch: Warm dry conditions can encourage spider mites, so check the foliage and petioles often.

Pot growth and creeping stems in Philodendron plowmanii

The crawling stem benefits from a wider pot because new growth extends along the surface and produces leaves from spaced nodes. The winged petioles spread around the stem, so cramped placement can press against soft new leaves before they harden.

Philodendron plowmanii is associated with Ecuador and Peru, where it grows in low to mid-elevation Amazon-drainage habitats. Indoors, warm temperatures, filtered light, steady moisture and an airy root zone suit its crawling stem and thick aroid roots.

Philodendron plowmanii care for broad leaves and winged petioles

  • Light: Bright indirect light supports steady leaf growth without scorching the surface.
  • Water: Water when the upper part of the mix has started to dry; a constantly wet pot can stress the roots.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity helps new leaves open more cleanly; warm dry air can favour spider mites.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and protected from cold windows, cold floors and draughts.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix so oxygen reaches the thicker roots between watering.
  • Pot choice: Choose a wider container as the creeping stem extends across the pot surface.
  • Repotting: Repot when the crawling stem reaches the pot edge or the mix has compacted around the roots.
  • Fertilising: Feed lightly during active growth; reduce feeding when light and growth slow.
  • Propagation: Root stem cuttings with at least one node in warm humid conditions and an airy propagation medium.
  • Placement: Give the plant space at substrate level so the stem and petioles can spread without crowding.
  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves cleanly at the petiole base and inspect the remaining petioles for pests.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Semi-hydro can work when the roots are adapted gradually and the reservoir is kept clean and oxygenated.

Leaf issues and pest checks on Philodendron plowmanii

  • Spider mites: Check leaf undersides, petiole wings and new growth; fine webbing, speckling and dull leaf colour need treatment.
  • Root stress: Yellowing leaves with a wet, dense mix usually point to poor root aeration.
  • Damaged new leaves: Tight placement, low humidity or pest activity can mark soft new growth before the blade opens fully.
  • Leaf scorch: Pale dry patches can develop where direct sun hits the leaf surface.

Is Philodendron plowmanii toxic?

Keep Philodendron plowmanii out of reach of pets and small children. Chewed plant tissue can release irritating calcium oxalate crystals and may cause mouth irritation, drooling, swelling or stomach upset.

Philodendron plowmanii etymology and botanical background

I wish it had been done better
I imagine I'm going to get unhelpful votes by saying this, but this biography was not up to par with the author's other biographies. I've read Titan, which I thought was great, House of Morgan, which was really good, and Hamilton, which was also good, and this book just isn't up to those other books. The beginning was very frustrating because we learn about this supposedly very successful and widely acclaimed and established German banking family, yet there is practically nothing concerning how they got to be well known and exceedingly wealthy, nor what their business dealings were at the time. And this lack of information goes on and on, focusing almost to exclusion on inter-personal issues. Looking up the Warburgs in Wikipedia, I learned that the family had been a very successful banking family from the 1600's back in Venice, even before they settled in Warburg, Germany. Starting the narrative in the mid to late 1800's with the success of Jews in what was to become Germany just left me hanging and feeling like I was missing a large part of who the Warburgs were and how they got that way. Additionally, the family had been around for a very long time and there are scattered references to visiting or staying with uncles and aunts, but the overall breadth of the family is not addressed. Thinking about his problem now, it almost would make more sense and read better if there was a short intro and perhaps 10 separate bios on separate family members, instead of skipping around. It would help the flow. I have a feeling the author's inability to read German or Swedish or other European languages and his lack of primary research in Europe, where the Warburgs achieved fame and fortune, contributed to this incomplete biography. On the other hand, it appears that not much had been written on the Warburgs prior to this book (at least in English), and that is why I read the book. Additionally, the whole build up to the Holocaust and how the Warburgs kept their warm feelings for Germany throughout the experience, as a constant theme, was very interesting and well done, especially since I'm Jewish. The reading got more focused and poignant the closer the Holocaust got and immediately afterwards. 3 or 3.5 stars is probably the best score, but will upgrade so I don't get canned too badly. If you're interested in the Warburg it's a good starter book, though I imagine if this weren't one of the first books Chernow wrote, he would have done a better job as a more mature and accomplished biographer.

Well Worth the Lengthy Read
Format: Paperback
Enjoyed this book. Ron Chernow writes well, captures personalities and researches extensively. I went to Woodlands High School on an estate donated by the family. These were brilliant people who stood by their values and convictions while facing anti-semitism with grace and courage.

A brilliant family, cultural and business history
Format: Kindle
What starts out as the personal and business history of a deeply religious and close family, expands into a study of the disintegration and continued importance of family, religious and cultural ties, the sources of anti-semitism and a window into some of the most dramatic moments of war and peace in the 20th century. Brilliantly researched, and interestingly written, it touches on topic after topic of importance, without pretence, and without either glorifying or deprecating the many contributions of the many Warburg family members it follows. Deserving of some high award, for sure!

Wow ! What a great read
Format: Hardcover
I've read most of Ron Chernows books and they all are just overpowering. The history that you will learn is astounding, and it comes to you as a wonderfully told story. The Warburgs, will put the pieces of the history puzzle together from pre-WWI Germany to the Treaty of Versailles, WWII, post-WWII Germany, plus Warburg involvement with the creation of the current US Central Bank and service on the board of the Federal Reserve. The story covers the split of the family telling the stories of those who remained in Germany some of whom suffered death in the Holocaust, while others lost wealth, position, and sanity yet one remained relatively unscathed building a library of great works while in Germany through Hitler"s reign. The journey of the family is a European, American, and Anglo journey, of a family that prospered and suffered and prospered again leaving it's mark on history for the last three centuries, and still survives.
