Heartleaf Philodendron 'Frilly Philly' = New Cultivar

Below is a new heartleaf philodendron cultivar named 'Frilly Philly'. A plant patent application has been submitted for it. This is a purposely induced mutation from the standard heartleaf philodendron (Philodendron scandens oxycardium). It is small, stable and does really well under interior conditions. Hopefully great things will happen with this plant. After testing and growing it for 4 years I am convinced of its great potential.

I can be grown as small table top plant, a small hanging basket or trained on a totem pole (see photos below).
