:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Now THIS is a thread I can really enjoy (Augie you read my mind). Here's some of my tropicals. As you can see, I definitely have a thing for the
Split-Leaf Philodendron (technically called Monstera Deliciosa). I also like my EE and BOP's. I brought a lot of these home from HI as cuttings. Sorry for so many pics... but this is my favorite hobby now smile

LOL, we have so many plants, we've had to rent a separate moving truck for JUST the plants. We have over 30 now.

JoAnn, I like your Dumb Cane plant. I am hoping we'll get one of those soon. I heard it got it's name from the fact that if you get the sap in your mouth, you'll loose the ability to speak.

Augie you have the largest Aloe plant I've ever seen. Ours looks like a midget next to yours, LOL

John your Split leafs are very delicious looking, beautiful splits.
Your right about the Philidendron, gotta watch the cats dont chew at it. umm on second thought.
Dont know if this is allowed but I could mail you a cutting, even if it dried out a bit, wuld still root. I threw a bunch away outside waiting for garbage and they started to grow.

Give it about 20 years, at least that's how old this one is. Mum left it and I decided to keep it. Low maintenance is my motto though I'll have to repot it this spring. See that huge light green growth on the right? It wants to split. I'll be giving that to a friend which should give her a great start! smilenod LOL, basically an instant plant!

You guys are better growers than me. notworthy

LOL about the sunburns. It's definitely a huge one.

JoAnn that'd be great. I like starting the plants as "babies." Natasha says if I get any more large ones we may not have room to walk around inside. Course now I have even MORE space to fill, LOL.

That's one thing I like about the Araceae family of plants. You can take a cutting of almost any part of the plant and it'll grow back somewhere else. I had a philo cutting from HI I thought was long dead, almost threw it out after leaving it in a pot for 4 months. Didn't grow a single root or anything. But I decided to put it in water 4 months later and sure enough, it's growing happy as can be now. The roots that came out on that sucker were amazing. It's still in water now. And my Ti's literally push themselves out of the pot with their taproot. I just re-potted the one above in a 16" pot.

When I started doing this in 2003 I had a really black thumb, killed nearly everything. Now I have found this to be my favorite hobby. I just ordered 4 more plants off eBay this week. I just hope they survive the trip through the cold.
