My new abused aroid

Recommended Posts

I found this poor abused juvenile aroid for sale for 1 dollar and decided to rehabilitate it. Any Ideas as to what it is???

I guess Aroid of some sort based on the flower

This is a juvenile plant as I saw the mother plant which had larger leaves

Mottled Stalks

Some sort of Alocasia, Colocasia or xathosoma??

Probably a Pinellia or Typhonium. 

 

I'd be OK calling it TYPHONIUM TRILOBATUM

If it were not for the fact that mine has mottled stems while the t.trilobatum does not and the only typhoniums that I have found on the Internet with mottled stems have totally different leaf configurations. Somehow I doubt that I have a hybrid.

I can't find any pinellias on the Internet that nearly resemble my plant. I am looking a arums, but that does not look promising

I agree it looks like a Typhoniun to me as well

Maybe syngonium angustatum?

I have s. angustatum growing everywhere and although the leaf formation is similar, the stalks are totally different. The mother plant has a stalk more like an anthurium than a vining syngonium nor is s. angustatum blessed with a mottled stem.

Ugh I hate NOIDS. Half my greenhouse is NOIDS now even though I should know what some of that stuff is

I know what you mean. I have over 400 varieties of plants in my garden with no more than half a dozen NoIDs, but those half dozen unknowns are a constant pain in the nether regions. See my catalog of plants in  hrrp://selva.cabal.mx

The thing that stands out to me (besides the stems) is that it appears to be almost variegated....or spotted. Could that be a clue?

The plant is in rather ratty condition which makes details difficult to appreciate. I'll go Sunday to take a picture of the mother plant which is planted in the ground and will probably show details better.

Laura at Walter Reeves has ID it as a Clorospatha Croatiana

I went to the nursery today to get a photo of the mother plant and the owner of the nursery handed me a shovel and told me to be careful removing that weed so as not to damage surrounding valuable plants.

So here is a photo of the mother plant a bit worse for wear from travelling a fairly long distance in a messenger bag, in the hot Mexican sun, on the back of a motorcycle. The leaves wilted like mad but the stalk structure remains sound. I am certain that once it gets over it's hysterics that it will be fine and a great addition to my garden.

As mentioned before; Laura at Walter Reeves has IDed it as a Clorospatha Croatiana
