    I need help to identify this house plant. It has large lobed green leaves from a central group of stems and a large number of root suckers. It was repotted recently and is sending up new growth. It seems to be quite hardy.


    Thanks for the help.

    Philodendron selloum or similar species (there are as many as 500).

    It appears to be Philodendron lacerum. Joe

    Leaves become bigger and more divided as plant develops, so that doesn't have to be a disqualifier. For familiar, related example look at difference in size and shape between young or repressed (living room/barber shop) Monstera deliciosa and one in large greenhouse or outdoors. But that's not to say this one isn't other species suggested--I don't know one way or other.
