Philodendron tenue

I have a history of not researching plants before I buy them. I try to rationalize this by stating that I don't tend to have the problem with very common plants. It's usually something that neither I nor anybody else has heard of before that trips me up.

This Philodendron tenue is a perfect example. Recall that my greenhouse is only six feet tall. Recall further that this is only on one side - the tall side. Philodendron tenue gets these huge three foot long leaves - and it's a climber. It just looked so innocent in a little six inch pot as a seedling.

It's a beautiful plant and I am glad I got it. I just need to prune it soon before it reaches the exhaust fan and gets cut to shreds.
