Velvet Leaves Of Adelaide
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 […]
One of my favorite places in Adelaide has and always will be the Adelaide Botanical Gardens. Its like stepping out of the craziness of the city and into another world of quietness and well… plants. Situated in the North East corner of the city, it’s a five minute walk from the bustle of Rundle Mall […]

This weekend has been all about making Coir Poles for my planties. Originally, I figured I only needed to make one or two and then keep the left over of what I bought, for later. Haha, nope! I always get carried away. I need more coir to finish a few off and then all my […]
I had a go at making my first Moss Pole recently. I found a spare piece of 20mm PVC pipe that was about 70cm and I figured why not? I also figured why not share it with everyone. So here is how I made it. — I had off cuts of netting from making my […]
