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. […]

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 […]
