What is the difference between Syngonium Chiapense and Syngonium Macrophyllum? Good question!
Category: Growing Aroids
Syngonium Chiapense is an easy growing, low maintenance plant that is fast growing and a joy to grow. Personally, it is one of my favourites at any stage of growth.
18 months ago, I picked up a reverted Philodendron Domesticum Variegatum as a “Project plant”, to see if I could turn that variegation around.
As the seedlings become a young plant they often become leggy and will lean to the side, as they become top heavy. When this happens, you will notice there are a lot of air roots sitting above the soil. It is at this stage, that I like to do a re-pot for a few reasons.
Recently, on Instagram, I was asked by another collector, how to tell the difference between Anthurium Pallidiflorum and Anthurium Vittarifolium. A good question and one that is often not very clear, especially here in Australia, where sellers are labeling the cheaper Vittarifolium as the more expensive Pallidiflorum. This has lead to Instagram and the internet […]
At the end 2020, when Adelaide went into lockdown for Covid, I started a little project with the aim of growing big Philodendron Mican leaves. This requires height and I am providing this with a big Coir Pole that I can extend later on. Ideally, the velvety leaves will grow larger as the vines climb […]
If ever there was a more popular but elusive plant than the Epipremnum Manjula. The information available on this plant is beyond limited. However, I have compiled a combination of information and my own, and other growers experiences with this plant, to bring you this plant profile. Epipremnum Manjula is another patented variety of Epipremnum, […]
I have picked up this lovely Philodendron Domesticum Variegatum that has mostly reverted. I have been wanting to play with a reverted plant for some time to see of I could revert its revertion…. if that makes sense. On its own, its a lovely plant. You can still see some signs of variegation in the […]
A. Dussii (which is what I bought this plant as), and A. Guildingii are old name’s for A. Balaoanum. Here in Australia, it os often still referred to as A. Dussii. First published in 1898 by Adolf Engler Anthurium Balaoanum, a climbing anthurium with large thin but leathery leaves. One of the easier Anthuriums to […]
I have been trying different methods of propagating my Aroids, now that I have the room. I am now starting to favour different methods for different plants and cuttings. No one method works best nor does ‘one size fit all’. Here, I want to talk about starting stem cuttings in Zip Loc bags and Spagnum […]
