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. No one method works best nor does ‘one size fit all’. Here, I want to talk about starting stem cuttings in Zip Loc bags and Spagnum […]
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 […]
Introducing…. The Bakeri Babes! Anthurium Bakeri I have been lucky enough to get these Bakeri babies from a new friend on Instagram. happy_hoya_lady grew these from seed and somehow we met and I became like their Fairy Instagram Godmother. Now I am caring for/mothering 5 of them and a Hoya Pottsii Kuranda that she threw […]
*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 […]
It’s been a whole month since I made a Moss Pole for my Green Syngonium to get rid of all the excess Sphagnum Moss that left over from buying plants from away. It’s amazing how much the plant has grown in such a short amount of time. The plant has almost doubled in size in […]
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 […]
