There are many ways to propagate your aroids and everyone has a prefered method. For me, I have evolved my method to cater to specific types of plants and cuttings. Over the past year, I started using Coconut coir as a medium for cuttings to grow in and it has been quite successful. However, I […]
*Updated 18/1/2021 with results for each option I have just received some cuttings of Rhaphidophora Hayi in the mail. This is my first shingling plant and in my reading on propagating this plant, I have of course found multiple ways to propagate them. Because I received a few cuttings, I figured I could afford to […]
So here was are at the end of the road of this experiment. It’s been four weeks since I cut up this Philodendron Golden Tuxtla for Propagation. The results have certainly been suprising and not entirely what I predicted. Apologizes that I am posting nearly a week late due to a family emergency. The photos […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma. Ok, I will smith that until I bought this plant on a Facebook Flash Sale, I had never heard of it. It was advertised as a Mini Monstera and I was sold on that alone. I love Monstera, as this blog will show. I just happened to have a car so off I […]
