We have found it prefers to be dry, especially able to rest during winter. Spring and Summer bring strong climbing growth. The leaves are about 19 x 9". The temperatures extremes are 50 - 80dF. Although it seems to prefer a low humidity, it does fine with up to 70" providing there is good air circulation. No direct sun without shade cloth or other means of tint so as not to burn the leaves. We actually put 'plastic' file folders inside the 'clear' portions of the corrugated roof and it highly increased variegation. The more light the more white variegation. We use our typical aroid mix for soil, which you already have. We are happy to answer any other questions you may have. +More According to AB Graf "imbe" (Pernambuco to Sao Paulo) is the Brazilian Indian's name for most climbing Philodendron. The species has leaves oblong sagittate, parchment-like and with veins nearly at right angles, some reddish beneath to 35 cm long and 18 cm wide; petioles marked red. Further, for 'variegatum' (Guanabara); waxy sagittate leaves with pointed basal lobes, and irregularly variegated; one side of leaf may be dark green with cream marbling, the other side cream with nile green and dark green spots.

From: "Eduardo Goncalves" edggon at hotmail.com> on 2005.02.23 at 14:17:41(12722) Dear Michael, Taxonomically, Philodendron imbe may prove to be a name so deeply imbedded in confusion that this name should not be used anymore. Anyhow, at least in Brazil, the material usually called P. imbe is a cultivar with no origin defined that can produce a large quantity of offshoots and it never flowers around here. It has sagittate leaves with clearer nerves and grows so massively that can be used as a dense shrub. Very best wishes, Eduardo. +More Dr. Eduardo G.

From: "Eduardo Goncalves" edggon at hotmail.com> on 2005.02.25 at 14:08:18(12731) To me, your plant looks like P. sagittifolium, from Mexico. Not the wild type, but a variegated form. Check on it.
