My First Philodendron :)
Comments (17)Hi Brad, You're so right. Reading suggestions on GW is a big help, and one can learn a lot from people who grow really rare plants, like CP's. Think I mentioned, I didn't know CP/Venus Flytraps bloomed. Our local conservatory keeps CP's in a large aquarium, but last time I visited CP's weren't flowering..They are interesting to watch though. Brad, I WISH I had that book. LOL, you're right...Little Shop of Horrors..One day that movie was on Cable. An old version..B-Grade, badly made movie. lol. I can't recall much about the movie, except a guy own a store, maybe a plant store, and got hold of a plant that ate people..lol..Too funny. Swallowtail sounds right. Wings are black edged, yellow centers. So far, haven't seen a ST this year. Oh, you'll love your Butterfly Bush..What color flowers? I had white over 10-years, '17-yr Cicada's killed it,' and still have a dark purple BB in the back yard. BB attracts Butterflys, bees and a little insect called Moth-Hummingbird. The first time I saw this insect I thought it was a Hummer...boy, was I excited. I started a thread here on GW, and found it wasn't a hummer, but a moth-hummer..Don't know if they're related or not.. Its wings flutter exactly like a Hummingbird. They're tiny, maybe 1-2" tall. Of all BB color flowers, I think white is most fragrant and attracts a larger number of insects. Mine were bought at HD, too. lol. As babies. So, you prune now? Doesn't pruning halt flowers? Big decision is an understatement. Coco, 'little dog' is very lonely w/o his big brother. On the other hand, he's very selfish, lol. He has quite a few stuffed animals, which we call his babies. Coco never liked sharing. Even w/Sam. lol So, if I get another dog, I fear Coco will think he/she is his baby, and won't want me to touch the new little guy/gal. Training might be impossible. Sam gets credit for house training Coco. Coco watched Sam go out back..When Coco grew a little, I took Coco out back. He was so tiny, I feared he'd find a way outside the fence. Even though I took Coco out, he was only doing what Sam did, if that makes sense. lol. Then, Sam and Coco went outside together, under my supervision. Coco weight about 5 lbs, Sam was 172. I worried Sam would step on Coco. Too protective??? lol Did you get a chance to browse Black Jungle? Toni...See MoreHeart-Leaf Philodendron and Spider Plant together in one pot?
Comments (11)No, it's pretty particular to you. If you WANT to know how to use pm's: Click member's name, click on "activity" and if they have their settings so that you can pm them, a little, magic box that says "message" will appear. It's all very mystical, I can't figure out the right combination or time of day to do it to get the box to spawn. It's pretty random. Must be set on like 0.0000001% chance in the algorithms of the program....See MoreHeartleaf Philodendron tips?
Comments (1)It looks like that happened during previous transit or being moved around. Does not look like insect. Looks good so far! My tip is just to make sure the stems stay in the dirt. Growers start these plants using lots of cuttings, so they're not always rooted as much as you would expect. I usually double check and bury them a little further in the soil. If you don't, some of the stems may wilt, and you can end up watering too much....See MoreNeed help with heart-leaf philodendron
Comments (7)Agree as far as "some type of surface pathogen." I never know what they are either, which requires microscopic examination and the knowledge to interpret. Occasionally there's a funky leaf on this plant or that plant that looks like some kind of pathogen. Most can be overcome by removing affected leaves, keeping foliage dry. I can't think of an instance where that didn't get rid of "mystery leaf spots/funky foliage." It also seems within the realm of possibility that a spritz of some kind of cleaning spray could funkify a leaf like that. How is your plant doing now?...See MoreUser
