Beautiful plant. I love Philo's (even though Monstera isn't technically one it's close enough for me).

It's my favorite :) I started with 1 and now I have almost 10, LOL. Three of them are especially large. I became obsessed with this plant for a long time. We had one heck of a time living with them until we got in the new house. It was a squeeze in the apartment with these guys.

Here are my largest two.

Got this one as a cutting in Hawaii:

Found two of these at Lowe's in West Columbia. I almost lost them to mites, but now they are huge. They haven't developed the holes in the leaves yet, but the newest leaf on one of them is larger than some of the leaves on Phil.
