My take / Mabel Meter: 🏆 Winner alert — collector plant
This is a good one. It has Philodendron spiritus-sancti in the parentage, and that name still carries collector excitement. Ecuagenera describes this hybrid as combining the compact, rounded foliage of P. quelalii Round with the elongated leaf traits of P. spiritus-sancti. Ecuagenera USA has also listed this hybrid around $45, while I found a Palmstreet listing for a 5" pot at $125, so price depends a lot on size, maturity, and leaf quality.

Philodendron quelalii Round × spiritus-sancti is a rare collector Philodendron hybrid with exciting potential for elongated, elegant foliage and strong tropical character. This cross brings together the rounded form of Philodendron quelalii Round with the highly sought-after influence of Philodendron spiritus-sancti, giving it strong appeal for aroid collectors. 🌿

As the plant matures, leaves may become longer, more defined, and more dramatic. Each plant may show slight variation in shape, size, and growth habit, which makes this hybrid especially fun to grow out. ✨
