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 […]
Got to love a bargain. I bought the pot of Xanthosoma “Lemon Zinger”, shown below, from our local major hardware. It was in the clearance rack for just $2. I also got Frozen Planet as well for the same price. Lucky me, I also got multiple plants in the pot. One main plant with three […]
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. […]
Monstera Siltepecana “El Salvadore” is a plant that has recently become a bit of a star here in the Aussie plant scene. I’ve been casually looking for one, but I didn’t expect to find one so easily. Actually, it felt too easy. I bid on and won this cutting on EBay and it arrived today. […]
I’ve said it before and I will say it again… Insomnia is bad for both my health and plant budget. Most of my plant splurges are done when I am laying awake at night. Usually I am bored, frustrated, in pain (nerve condition. Yay 😒 ) and desperate for a distraction and something to look […]
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 […]

It’s been a whole month since I made a Moss Pole for my Green Syngonium to get rid of all the excess Sphagnum Moss that left over from buying plants from away. It’s amazing how much the plant has grown in such a short amount of time. The plant has almost doubled in size in […]
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 […]
Oops, I need to stay clear of EBay. Lol I put a low $5 bid on this Xanthosoma Violaceum recently and clearly it was meant to be mine. I had actually never seen this plant before. So it’s weird to suddenly have one. But also pretty cool. However, I am not sure I got the […]
