Here's an update on Super atom...it would now be about 16" high and has been potted on twice since last pics were taken.It is now growing in a 12" pot.There were thick roots growing out of the drainage holes each time. As shown in this pic the roots are big for a plant this size...they would be as thick as a mans small finger.It appears to be a very strong grower and it's only fault I can see at this time is the leaves easily break off.
What I would like to know is.Does the root size give any indication of the eventual size of a mature plant or can it be common to see thick roots like this on a young small variety of philodendron?. It's just that I have no idea of it's eventual mature size as no details were on the label when purchased.
Hoping one of the experts here can help.TIA
