Welcome to Aroid Season 2020/21. New growth is taking off with the warmer weather here in Adelaide. I love growing in hot weather, and the daily changes to my collection that come with it. Normally, I am gearing up to buy new plants after a winter starved of purchases, but the reality is that I […]
Philodendron Atabapoense I recently won an Ebay Auction for a P. Atabapoense cutting. This was on my wishlist, but I didnt expect to get one just yet. Its one of the more expensive and harder to find on my list. So to get a cutting for such a good price was a win for me. […]
This is a common question I hear all the time. How to tell the difference between E. Manjula amd E. Snow Queen (Pearls and Jade). Ill make it simple. They are pure opposites in colour, and the stem colour is the key! I mean opposites because where Snow Queen’s leaves have green coming from the […]

Introducing…. The Bakeri Babes! Anthurium Bakeri I have been lucky enough to get these Bakeri babies from a new friend on Instagram. happy_hoya_lady grew these from seed and somehow we met and I became like their Fairy Instagram Godmother. Now I am caring for/mothering 5 of them and a Hoya Pottsii Kuranda that she threw […]
Introducing to my collection… Philodendron Glorious! I bought this plant on EBay from a grower in Sydney. It was my Bday present to myself. Originally it was a well rooted cutting with one leaf and a well developed cataphyl. I am not sure if it is the same cutting, but what I received was much […]
More bargain plants! The two Xanthosoma Frozen Planet, pictured below, I bought from our local major hardware for just $2each. I also picked up the Lime Zinger that is half in the shot, as well. Clearly they were in the clearance section and I couldn’t resist. I’m also getting good at reviving these types of […]
