There are many ways to propagate your aroids and everyone has a prefered method. For me, I have evolved my method to cater to specific types of plants and cuttings. Over the past year, I started using Coconut coir as a medium for cuttings to grow in and it has been quite successful. However, I […]
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 […]
On the 24th July, 2020, I finally cut my Philodendron Majestic. I have been back and forth on my decision to cut this plant. But at the end of the day, the plant was too leggy and needed something done about it. I bought it with the intention of cutting it for propagation and, by […]
Introducing…. The Bakeri Babes!

Now I am caring for/mothering 5 of them and a Hoya Pottsii Kuranda that she threw […]
*Updated 18/1/2021 with results for each option I have just received some cuttings of Rhaphidophora Hayi in the mail. This is my first shingling plant and in my reading on propagating this plant, I have of course found multiple ways to propagate them. Because I received a few cuttings, I figured I could afford to […]

Also known as the Fruit […]
So here was are at the end of the road of this experiment. It’s been four weeks since I cut up this Philodendron Golden Tuxtla for Propagation. The results have certainly been suprising and not entirely what I predicted. Apologizes that I am posting nearly a week late due to a family emergency. The photos […]
Another week has gone by so fast. I have noticed the weather cooling now and I am seeing a slowing of growth in my plants. They are no longer growing like they are on steroids, just growing casually. I also see it in my propagating pieces. I do wonder if it’s effecting this experiment at […]
Its another week down in our experiment comparing propagation mediums and it is time to look at how the Philodendron Golden Tuxtla cutting are getting on. It’s now two weeks into the experiment and I expect to see roots beginning to show. It will be interesting to see just how each method is working out. […]
