Anyone else have one? These have been around for a number of years...they are an as-yet undescribed species which have been confused with a couple other plants in the past (namely P. verrucosum and P. luxurians 'Choco') because, well they come from Choco ha ha. They have been gaining popularity really fast and, as all things aroid seems do, have also been gaining in price and are pretty astronomical to buy right now. I was lucky to get a very small one as a trade. It had 2 leaves when I got it, and has produced 2 more, and is starting to get the trademark red color on the underside that gives it its name. I have it in my terrarium right now, I will be moving it out to the greenhouse in a week or so and placing it on a totem so it can climb

Such a gorgeous plant, Gina! I'm new to these forums. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like the Aroid community is too popular here, but I'm glad to be here regardless! I don't have one of these guys yet, but it's on my wishlist. My normal verrucosum is by far one of my favorites, though.
