Velvet Leaves Of Adelaide
What a year it’s been. I got my first Philodendron in January and now I am Aroid obsessed. Its is amazing how far my collection has come this year. I started collecting, learning, making mistakes, learning from them and now I am collecting more expensive and harder to find plants. I have made connections with […]
I received this cutting in the mail a few weeks ago and have had it sitting in water growing extra roots and acclimatizing, ever since. I am just a tad bit in love with this one. I cant help it, its just so pretty. I have since seen a big one on a totum, growing […]
As I have learnt more and more about growing plants indoors, I have come to realise how important it is to put focus on the soil you grow your plants in. Often growers rely on a one size fits all situation and plants with different needs are all put into the same potting mix that […]
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 […]

I first saw a Philodendron Micans at another growers house and I fell in love with the leaves and a whole new world of plants was opened up to me. I was officially a leaf girl…. And a Velvet girl… An anything with leaves girl… 😜 Lol. I finally got to the point recently where […]
Hi everyone. This post is about my decision to add a totem for my Golden Pothos to climb. It was in need of a bigger pot and better support because of the sad excuse for training it had when I bought it at the start of the year. This was my first Pothos and had […]
As I have written about before, I have been on a quest to get a Manjula Pothos from IKEA and have been going each Friday (lucky I have it off) which is the day new plants come in. This was my third time getting there early and making sure I got to look through the […]
Early May 2019 I bought my first Marble Queen Pothos. It was a propergated cutting that I bought from a fellow grower for $5. Looking back, I can’t believe that I got such a lovely plant for so little. The variegation is perfection in my opinion. I’ve since bought another there with full variegation, but […]
