Velvet Leaves Of Adelaide
So, I have found my weakness… Velvety Strap Leaf Anthuriums. 😍🤩 This week I recieved an Anthurium Vittariifolium in the mail. It was another of my late night “oopsie” purchases. The thing is, I have been watching them sell on Ebay for up to three times the price I paid for each of my Vittariifolium […]
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 […]
This week I received an Alocasia Badinga “Green Dragon” in the mail. It is just lovely. It almost dosnt look real. Nature is just so damn amazing. However… I cant find any info on the Green Dragon. Does it have another name? How many names does a plant need? Is Green Dragon it’s actual name???? […]
There is nothing quite like the excitement of buying a plant that you have been wanting for some time. Especially buying online, where there is the wait for it to arrive and then the thrill of when it does get delivered. It’s a lot like Xmas really, except you get a gift you actually want. […]

Yeah, I got a little lazy with posting on here towards the end of the year. Mostly, I didnt know if I wanted to continue with this site, start fresh on another or just scrap the whole thing. But it is a great way to track my collection and compile information as I research plants […]
Two weeks into the year and I have already purchased 7 plants from my 2020 wishlist and replaced another. Plus I have given plants to a charity sale to raise money for the victims of the fire emergency going on as I type this. Overall though, it’s been my biggest plant week yet. It’s been […]
When I got into growing Alocasia, I never expected to become a plant Grandma. But here I am, and I couldn’t be happier. Last year, I picked up an Alocasia Sarian in the budget section at Bunnings. It was a big plant and from memory only cost me $14. Well, it turns out that this […]
I did it… I finally took a cutting from my Manjula Pothos, with the aim of selling or swapping it for something else. I currently have it sitting in water in the greenhouse. I’ve had other plants in there form roots within a week, due to the heat we have had. So it will be […]
Happy New Year, plant friends! How exciting to think what the year ahead may bring. Plant wise, it got me thinking about what plants I hope to add to my greenhouse this year. It’s not a list of “if only” plants, more one thats obtainable and affordable to me. So here it is… my Want […]
