18 months ago, I picked up a reverted Philodendron Domesticum Variegatum as a “Project plant”, to see if I could turn that variegation around.

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 […]
On the 24th July, 2020, I finally cut my Philodendron Majestic. I have been back and forth on my decision to cut this plant. But at the end of the day, the plant was too leggy and needed something done about it. I bought it with the intention of cutting it for propagation and, by […]
I finally got myself a shingling Aroid to add to my growing collection. Rhaphidophora Hayi! I won an auction on Ebay and recieved enough to allow me to try a few different ways of propagating and growing it. So that is exciting. A profile on Rhaphidophora Hayi ~ This glossy shingler is very popular and […]
*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 […]
