Welcome to Aroid Season 2020/21. New growth is taking off with the warmer weather here in Adelaide. I love growing in hot weather, and the daily changes to my collection that come with it. Normally, I am gearing up to buy new plants after a winter starved of purchases, but the reality is that I […]
Philodendron Atabapoense I recently won an Ebay Auction for a P. Atabapoense cutting. This was on my wishlist, but I didnt expect to get one just yet. Its one of the more expensive and harder to find on my list. So to get a cutting for such a good price was a win for me. […]
I have picked up this lovely Philodendron Domesticum Variegatum that has mostly reverted. I have been wanting to play with a reverted plant for some time to see of I could revert its revertion…. if that makes sense. On its own, its a lovely plant. You can still see some signs of variegation in the […]
I have been trying different methods of propagating my Aroids, now that I have the room. I am now starting to favour different methods for different plants and cuttings.

Amazon Waterlily Pavilion Despite the main feature of this building being the Victoria Amazonica Waterlily, this is a treat for Aroid lovers. Built in 2007, this energy efficient greenhouse/building is the perfect environment for growing aroids. Its hot and humid to the point that I had to strip off my winter layers to stay in […]
I see this question asked all the time and I actually found myself asking it last week when I picked up this plant in an online auction. It was listed as a Philodendron Gloriosum and I suspected it was actually a P. Glorious and was sure of this upon arrival. So what is it really??? […]
I purchased a P. Verrucosum cutting at 4am on a sleepless night. It was an impulse buy that I decided to take a chance on. The Jury is still out on if it will strike. But there are signs of hope. I think it was a rooted cutting that lost it’s young roots and was […]
