They had this new (to me) Philodendron at my plant shop so I had to have it.

I went straight to the Plant Files and found Satin Pothos, Philodendron Silver Cloud. Both of these are pictured there. Are they the same plant with one being more mature than the other? Or do I have 2 different Philodendrons?

Both of those plants are Scindapsus, not Philodendron, although they are closely related to Philos, both being aroids. They look as though they could be the same species, but both are still juvenile so it is difficult, if not impossible, to be sure.

Thanks LariAnn, I've never heard of Scindapsus. I'll have to do some research. Take a look at the Plant Files and someone may need to make some corrections.

Linda,

Here's the Plant Files link - it specifies Scindapsus pictus for your plant:

Their are several forms of this plant you seem to have two form the larger form is often called Scindapsus pictus (argenteus) I believe Peter Boyce had 4 or more forms of this species as well most received a cultivars name to tell them apart.

Good luck with it, I have one and it is the most persnickety plant I have ever met!!
