Definitions

  • Asexual reproduction of my new variety has been carried out by tip cutting, including removal and rooting of terminal shoots of three or more leaves; other methods of propagation including single eye cuttings, air layering and the use of plunged cane length cuttings has also been effected, the plant in each case developing ultimate plants which run true to form and identified as the new vairety.
  • a resistance to bacterial soft-rot which is prevalent in Florida and Gulf Coast areas is outstanding in this particular plant.
  • the plant of my new variety is also virtually immune to the so-called shot-gun fungus which as is well known constitutes a rather common dehydration problem.
  • My new variety displays brilliant colors not available before, the leaf itself being a brilliant yellow and green with stem and petioles of bright red. A sheath covering each new leaf is also bright red, curls back as the leaf unfolds and remains on the plant for weeks.
  • My new variety exhibits a tendency to climb and when plants of eight leaves or more are involved, these plants will thus require staking as a normal procedure.
  • the plant grows at a rate which may be termed medium, and under normal greenhouse conditions a young plant develops in three to four months from tip cuttings. Often six to eight months is required to produce a mature plant from the same type of cutting.
  • the new variety is vigorous, compact and nonbranching; an average plant of five leaves propagated from a tip cutting attaining a height of twelve inches and a spread of eighteen to twenty inches; whereas a five-leaved plant propagated from a single eye cutting may attain a height of eight inches with a spread of twelve to fifteen inches.
  • a new and distinct variety of Philodendron plant substantially as herein disclosed, characterized as to novelty by its yellow, red ang green color contrasts in immature and mature leaves, the bright red color of the sheath covering with tendency to curl back and hang on to the stem for long periods of time, superior growth, resistance to shot-gun fungus and bacterial soft rot.
