One week since I cut up my spare Philodendron Golden Tuxtla to try different propagation methods and here are the results. Growing in Water Growing in Sphagnum Moss Growing in Coconut Coir And the two rooted bare stems. I think that there is clearly some change in all of the pieces. However, one of the […]
The cool thing about Aroids is that many of them can be propagated in water, as they have evolved from swamp dwelling plants and have held their ability to grow in water, moss and other moist mediums. By taking advantage of this we can easily and succesfully grow new plants to enjoy. You may have […]

Everyday I like to check Gumtree to see what plants people are selling. You just never know what you might pick up. Well this one was a goodie. For just $10 the advert was offering a huge hanging pot of “Philodendrons” and another with a big spider plant. Awesome. Although I was sure the Philodendrons […]

For $5 each I was able to buy Monstera Adansonii, Horse Head Philodendron, Philodendron Neon and an extra Satin Pothos (Scindapsus Pictus) that I […]
This is a “How To” on how to expand your plant collection without spending huge amounts of money
