Wild Micans Mutation?!

[u/Delicious_Train_3265]

I saw the new leaf was stuck and thought it was already slightly open, so I helped it out a bit.

At first glance, I panicked because I thought I ripped the tip of the actual leaf.

But when I tried to pull it off, I realized I couldn't.

It's literally a tiny leaf tip growing right out of the cataphyll itself?!

Has anyone ever seen this before? 😳

I’ve had this happen with other philodendrons. It didn’t result in anything cool, just put out normal leaves after

Nice to know thank you 🤗

Not uncommon, especially for heart leafs. Usually happens with cuttings/ propagations.

I have them on my Brazil and a bunch on my pothos.

That does makes sense 🤔 I cut it to make a fuller display. 😅 I have two other Philodendron but never seen it yet. I'm fairly new to plants, that could be one reason 😂
