Photo of Philodendron ornatum: easy/difficult? Reclassified?

This is Philodendron ornatum. This photo was taken by Dr. Tom Croat at the Missouri Botanical Garden and I have his permission to borrow his photos for educational purposes. Although many people confuse the two, the genus Monstera and the genus Philodendron are not closely related. This plant is a sub adult and has not yet reached the adult growth form. Sorry the photo has been manipulated so much but that is done by the computer folks at the Missouri Botanical Garden.

In my experience it is not difficult to grow as long as it is given humidty and porous soil with moderatly bright light.
