Podcasts about Philodendron

Time to prune the plants in your yard (or trim that crazy hoya that went nuts after repotting in Oh Happy Dirt)? Pot up the cuttings and share the love! Big box stores have shown us that they don't care about individuals, so it's time to move our spending to home nurseries (and give away cuttings for free, too)!

Hallo Substratis, diese Folge ist fast schon ein Reisemagazin. ZUsammen mit Pascal vom Youtube-Kanal "Pascals Jungel" geht es heute nach Ecuador. Pascal ist im vergangenen Jahr bereits das zweite Mal in das Land gereist, aus dem viele unserer heissgeliebten Pflnazenraritäten kommen. Anthurien, Philos nd Orchideen wohin das Auge reicht. Fast schon so viele Pflanzen, dass man als Reisender etwas gelangweilt sein kann. Aber es gab ja noch so viel mehr zu entdecken. Die Menschen, die Kultur, das Essen und die Tiere. Wusstet ihr, dass man in Ecuador zum Beispiel Meerschweinchen isst? Wooooh. NIcht jedermanns Sache. Und fast wie im Dschungelcamp konnte Pascal bei einem Tier nicht seinen Ekel unterdrücken. Viel lieber hatten er und seine Reisegruppe aus PflanzologInnen da die Koolibris. Das ist auch wirklich ein faszinierender Vogel. Es gab also viel zu entdecken und Carla und ich waren sehr neugierig möglichst ales zu erfahren. Folgt uns Dreien also in dieser Folge nach Ecuador. Und wenn ihr Lust habt, könnt ihr den Podcast auch als Video auf dem Kanal von Pascal sehen. Alle Infos weiter unten. Lieben Gruß Olli

Hallo Substratis, was steht bei euch in diesem Jahr auf der Pflanzen-Wunschliste? Es gibt ja so viel, was man sich kaufen könnte. Zwar sind die Preise bei vielen Pflanzen im vergangenen Jahr drastisch gesunken, was auch stark mit der großen Zahl an Reproduktion durch Tissue Culture begründet ist, doch es gibt natürlich noch jede Menge Pflanzen, für die viele von uns sparen müssen, wenn sie nicht vom goldenen Löffel essen. Da gibt es sehr teure panaschierte Alocasien, Anthurien und Monsteras, aber natürlich auch Begonien. Carla und ich haben einmal im Internet herumgeguckt, was da in diesem Jahr für Pflanzen auf uns zukommen könnten und welche davon im Preis so fallen könnten, dass wir sie uns etwas leichter leisten können. Das vergangene Jahr war ja vor allem das Jahr der Anthurien-Hybride. In diesem Jahr könnte es einen Hype um die Philo-Hybride geben. Das deutet sch zumindet an. Wir werden beobachten, wohin die Reise geht und was sich preislich vielleicht schon bei den Frühjahrs-Pflanzenmessen tun wird. Einen Knaller hält Carla übrigens in dieser Folge noch für mich bereit. Unfassbar, kann ich da nur sagen. Fotos gibts wie immer auf Instagram Liebe Grüße und viel Spaß beim Hören Olli

Philodendron, rubber plants and spiderwort have been popular houseplants for decades. Now, growers are introducing new varieties and colors to liven your environs. Propagate some to grow outdoors in containers this summer, too.

We're talking resolutions today - specifically those that support self kindness rather than capitalistic “you're not enough” culture. Also, I do a little walkthrough of my home and changes I'll be making with my plants to support easy care in the new year. And be sure to take a look at the thumbnail photo for this episode - note the difference in leaf size on the Calathea orbifolia!

This episode is an audio “peek” into my house right now - early warning signs of spider mites, crazy etiolation from ignoring a Monstera esqueleto, air layering shenanigans, and hoyas going completely nuts after their re-pot :)

Quick episode describing how I'd stack moss poles because you KNOW your plants are going to outgrow them :)

Hallo Substratis, wir sind zurück von der mybotanika in Hamm. Und es gibt viel zu erzählen. So viel, dass wir und entschlossen haben, das Carla keine Kurzfolge macht, sondern wir beide zusammen über die Messe sprechen. Und da gibt es viel zu besprechen. Für Carla war die mybotanika ein echter Downer. Sie hat viel Arbeit und noch mehr Liebe in ihren Stand gesteckt. Am Ende ist sie mit einem Minus aus dem Tag gegangen, der sehr spät endete. Für mich war die Messe viel schöner. Ich hatte viel Zeit und konnte mich mit vielen BesucherInnen und AustellerInnen unterhalten. Wie sagte Carla: "Für die BesucherInnen war es wieder eine tolle Messe." Die AusstellerInnen hatten, anders aber als bei den Messen davor, viel Zeit, sich mit mir zu unterhalten. Denn: nicht alle haben guten Umsatz gemacht. Das war sicher auch schon in den Vorjahren so, aber wir haben das Gefühl, so schlecht waren die Umsätze noch nie. Warum das so war, welche Kritik wir an der mybotanika haben und was wir vielelicht ändern würden, das erfahrt ihr in dieser Folge. Viel Spaß beim Hören. Lieben Gruß Olli

Are they aerial roots or an attempt at global domination? Here's a discussion of what aerial roots are for, when they show up, and a touch of complete silliness (or twelve).

In this weeks episode John is joined by Andrew Bunting Vice President of Horticulture at Pennsylvania Horticultural Society to chat about Pennsylvania Horticultural Society gardening trends for 2023 survey.ABOUT PENNSYLVANIA HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS), an internationally recognized nonprofit organization founded in 1827, uses horticulture to advance the health and well-being of the Greater Philadelphia region.1.    Gardens with ecological functions – People are continuing to see their gardens as part of a larger ecosystem. Through incorporating native and pollinator plants, gardeners are creating habitats for insects and birds.2.    “Leave the Leaves” – This movement encourages people to leave their leaves and convert them into compost, mulch, or fertiliser to reduce landfill waste. 3.    Reducing dependence on fossil fuels – Many natural gas-powered garden machines such as mowers, weed whips, chainsaws, and leaf blowers are being phased out for battery-operated options which help to reduce carbon footprint. 4.    Water-wise gardens and plants – With global climate events and increasingly erratic weather patterns including extended periods of drought, there is an increased need to consider water-wise gardens,  gravel gardens, and drought-tolerant plants. 5.    The houseplant craze continues – Houseplants have become an essential part of home décor, health and wellness planning, and social activities. With an increasing number and diversity of houseplants widely available through garden centers, 6.    “Fall is for planting” – Fall has been promoted for the last 20 years as a favorable time in the gardening season to plant perennials, shrubs, and trees. Now, fall is being promoted as a time to add color to the garden too! Garden centers now offer a wide selection of annuals and seasonal plants for fall visual interest, all featuring cold tolerance, beautiful foliage, or interesting fruits and berries. 7.    Amazing Aroids – These popular houseplants that feature distinctive, tropical, and often uniquely patterned foliage continue to grow in popularity such as Philodendron, Scindapsus, Anthurium, Alocasia, and Colocasia, while some rare species like ‘Pharaoh's Mask' have sold for hundreds of dollars. 8.    Food gardening thrives – The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a dramatic increase in food insecurity and the need to grow food. People are discovering that even with minimal pace they can grow produce throughout many months of the year; feeding themselves, and even sharing with neighbours. You can find out more about PHS as-well as buy tickets to the 2023 Philadelphia Flower Show Here https://phsonline.org There will be a blog post on this episode very soon on my website.

Philodendron and snake plants make great choices to grow indoors all year. And these steadfast classics come in fun varieties. Look for these and other houseplant variations to add to your indoor greenery.

This episode, we revisit a conversation I had with University of Vienna PhD student Florian Etl regarding an in depth look at a pollination system involving some of our most beloved houseplants. Florian focuses on genera like Philodendron, Anthurium, Dieffenbachia, and Spathiphyllum to shine light on how the plants manage to reproduce in the hyper diverse rainforests of Costa Rica. This is not easy work by any means but Florian and his colleagues are finding out new and wonderful things about the natural world.

On this episode we learn why Jess had an unsuccessful plant trip, why Mary hates catnip and how Alicia took back her East Window. We also sprinkled in some more plants for newbies and we had brief introduction to houseplant scale bugs. Follow us on Instagram and send us your questions, topic ideas or casualty plant pictures! @plantpeepspod Send us an email at plantpeepspod@gmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tips from this Episode: - Use rubbing alcohol to clean leaves with scale bugs. - Use sticky traps and mosquito bites or insect pellets on top of your soil to help with fungus gnats. - Philodendron plants can survive on florescent lighting - so bring them to your office or put them in your bathroom and they will be OK! - Trim your vining pothos or philodendrons and propagate and add to the top of the plant to have fuller cascading trailing plants! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Buzz Words From this Episode: Proplifting: the practice of taking discarded plant material and propagating new plants from them. Scale Bugs: feed by sucking sap from trees and shrubs through piercing-sucking mouth parts. Sap feeding by scale insects may cause yellowing or wilting of leaves, stunting or unthrifty appearance of the plants, and eventually death of all or part of the plant when infestations are heavy. Fronds: the leaf or leaflike part of a palm, fern, or similar plant. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plants Mentioned in this Episode: - Lipstick black pagoda - (Aeschynanthus longicaulis) - White Anne Nerve Plant - (fittonia argyroneura) - Alocasia ‘Frydek' - (Alocasia micholitziana) Common name is Green Velvet Alocasia - Pilea Mollis - Also known as Moon Valley Pilea - Silvery Ann - (scindapsus pictus) Common name is silvery vine - Air Plants (Tillandsia) - Chinese Evergreen (Aglaonema commutatum) - European Cypress - Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica) - Snake Plant (Dracaena trifasciata, Dracaena angolensi or Dracaena pearsonii) Common name varieties include: Bird's nest, twisted sister, mother in law's tongue, rhino grass, Bantel's sensation - Split Leaf Philodendron (Philodendron bipinnatifidum) - Also known as Swiss Cheese Plant - Vining Philodendron - Many varieties including Philodendron Brasil, Heartleaf Philodendron, Philodendron Mican, Philodendron Birken, Philodendron - Pothos - Many varieties including Marble Queen, Golden Pothos, Pothos NJoy, Neon Pothos, Jade Pothos, Cebu Blue Pothos, and Silver Pothos Exotica - Aloe Vera - Crispy Wave Fern (Japanese Asplenium Nidus) - Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum raddianum) Also known as Delta maidenhair fern. - Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) - Marigolds - Catnip (Nepeta cataria) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Products Discussed in this Episode: Sticky Fly Traps: https://tinyurl.com/5739a8ck

The first time I heard about wet stick propagation, I had no idea it even existed! That's why when I got an offer from a listener, Joey (@joey_de_la_plants), for a variegated Monstera 'Albo' wetstick (and I knew I wanted that plant but I had no idea what “wetstick” meant), I went down a research rabbit hole to know more about the process of rooting it. For the last 5 months, my node has not only rooted, but started growing!. So when I connected with Payton from Bloom Daddy Plants—who actively uses this method all the time to run his shop—I knew we had a super fun episode on our hands.

This week the Plant Daddies talk Philodendron 'Florida Ghost'. Why cover such an expensive, still-not-that-common plant? Because among 'It Plants', it's been one of the best performing, most satisfying splurge purchases in Matthew's memory. Stephen calls out the particularly bad online care articles and shares a possible origin story for this cultivar, and Matthew apparently just thinks you should strongly consider this one.

Man muss sagen: Heute ist die Steckdose jedes Raumes Zier. Wenn man Gäste in sein neues Luxusappartement lädt, fragen Sie als erstes danach.

I was so happy to do a podcast about these low maintenance plants with my twin sister, Lindsay! She was the perfect person to do it with because she doesn't have a lot of experience with houseplants, giving podcast a couple different perspectives! The subject of low maintenance houseplants has always been a hot topic of conversation between beginners and expert houseplant lovers alike! There are definitely more than 10 houseplants that are fairly easy and many sources say different things (none of them are wrong!). In this podcast, I have given you a look into my top 10 low maintenance houseplants based on my experiences with each of them and a different perspective from a beginner, my twin sister, Lindsay's experiences. My top 10 low maintenance houseplants are Snake Plant, ZZ Plant, Philodendron, Agave, Hoya, Pothos, Peperomia, Dieffenbachia, Syngonium and Monstera.

Today we thought we'd cover an obscure plant that you may not have seen. Just kidding! Matthew literally saw it in the background of a movie last night. We take a deep dive on this most iconic of tropical houseplants, Monstera deliciosa, including care stories and struggles, their edible fruit, and we even manage to mention that there are variegated ones, and the compact Borsigiana. What took us so long to cover the plant in our logo? And is this Stephen's favorite plant that he has no plan to grow?

I'd love to meet you in the group.   Important Events 1617  Today is the anniversary of the death of the 17th-century Italian botanist Prospero Alpini. Alpini introduced coffee and bananas to Europe. Alpini was also the first person to make observations about sexual differences in plants. The male and female flowers of the date palm, for instance, are borne on separate plants. This knowledge allowed Alpini to become the first person to fertilize the female flowers of the date palms artificially. Date palms were popular garden plants in Roman gardens. The fruit is very useful and is the basis for syrup, alcohol, vinegar, and liquor. The genus "Alpinia", belonging to the order Zingiberaceae (Ginger Family), is named for Alpini. Alpinia is also known as the ginger lily. Ginger lilies are perennials and the blooms have a gardenia fragrance. Ginger lilies are a wonderful cut flower.   1822  On this day in 1822, Joseph Sabine ("Suh-BEEN") gave a presentation to the London Horticultural Society. He was describing some new varieties of Chinese chrysanthemums. Eleven different kinds of mums had been imported two years earlier, in 1820, and had been thriving in the society's garden at Chiswick. In 1753, Carl Linnaeus, renowned Swedish botanist, combined the Greek words chrysos, meaning gold with anthemon, meaning flower. Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora) is the birth flower for November. In Japan, the highest Order of Chivalry is the Imperial Order of the Chrysanthemum. And National Chrysanthemum Day, aka the Festival of Happiness, has been celebrated in Japan since 910. Chrysanthemum Day is always celebrated September 9th - the ninth day of the ninth month because, in terms of numerology, that day, September 9th, is regarded as an auspicious day. Now, when Joseph Sabine described the Quilled Pink Chrysanthemum in detail for the London Horticultural Society, members had only heard about the Quilled Flamed Yellow variety. The Quilled Pink was exciting. Sabine, would not even recognize modern mums. Although some mums still look like their sister flowers, daisies, mums are being bred to be showier. Regardless of their appearance, mums belong to the Compositae, or daisy, family. And, there's another highlight for Joseph Sabine. He was serving as the Secretary of the Horticultural Society and is remembered for sending David Douglas on his 6-month expedition to North America. Douglas named the Digger Pine, Pinus Sabiniana, in honor of Joseph Sabine.   1783  Today is the anniversary of the death of the renowned landscape gardener Lancelot Capability Brown. In the 1730s, Lancelot ended up at Stowe, working for the great William Kent - the eminent painter and Landscape Architect. The garden at Stowe was a landscape garden with lots of straight lines and formality. The end result was a garden that looked like a painting with an 11-acre lake. The main area of the garden was the Elysian Fields ("uh·li·zhn"); 40 acres featuring buildings and monuments that flank two narrow lakes called the River Styx. The monuments in the garden honor virtuous men of Britain. The time Lancelot spent with Kent at Stowe transformed not only the land but also Lancelot - from a gardener to a Landscape Architect. It was his big break, and it gave him the confidence to set out on his own. After Stowe, Lancelot traveled all over England. When working for clients, he would stare out at the blank canvas of a new project and seek to find the "capabilities" of the Landscape - removing worker's cottages or older gardens when he felt the need to do so. It earned him the unshakeable nickname of Capability. Capability Brown's skill of seeing landscapes and then creating them made him very popular. Everyone with means wanted a Capability Brown landscape - they craved his signature look, his garden designs, and garden temples. What everyone essentially wanted was beauty -  and Capability created beautiful gardens. For 19 years, Capability served as the King's Master Gardener. Today, at least 20 Capability gardens still exist and are under the care of England's National Trust. When Lancelot died, the English writer Horace Walpole, sent word to the noblewoman Anne FitzPatrick that, "Lady Nature's second husband," was dead. He also sent a poem about Capability to the poet and gardener William Mason: "With one Lost Paradise the name Of our first ancestor is stained; Brown shall enjoy unsullied fame For many a Paradise, he regained."   1946  The botanist Edgar Anderson wrote to his student Charles B Heiser Jr: "Oh stamp collecting, when will taxonomists ever take any interest in being biologists? Once, when I traveled with E.J. Palmer, I went to a good deal of trouble to get a whole sheet of lily pods, and he threw it away because it made such a nasty looking specimen, and he wasn't certain what species it belonged to anyway." It turns out, this was just one of many letters that Edgar wrote to his student. In 1972, Charles wrote a lovely tribute about Edgar called "Student Days with Edgar Anderson or How I Came to Study Sunflowers." Charles sifted through the many letters he had received from Edgar during his lifetime - they filled up a folder over two inches thick. Over the years, Edgar was an encouraging mentor to Charles, writing, "What an incredible gift good students are…" and "if you are tired of [Helianthus] and don't want to look at 'em any more for a while, why by all means put them aside. Don't let anybody's advice, including mine, keep you from what you are happiest doing." Sunflowers or Helianthus Annuus ("HE-LEE-ann-thus ANN-you-us") are native to North America. When the Russian Tsar, Peter the Great, saw sunflower for the first time in Holland, he fell in love with them and had them brought back to Russia. The Russian public loved sunflowers as well -  but not just for their happy flowers.   Unlike other cooking oils, the oil from sunflower seeds was approved for use during Lent by the Russian Orthodox Church. By the early 1800s, two million Acres of sunflowers for planted in Russia every single year. Ironically, over the next century, immigrants from Russia would bring sunflower seeds with them when they immigrated to the United States. The Russian hybrids had bigger blooms than the original American varieties.  Now, most gardeners attempt growing sunflowers at some point, so if you find yourself wanting to give it a try, here are some tips to consider: First, sunflowers really do need a ton of sun. Don't be stingy with the sunshine and put them in part shade. These are plants that really appreciate all the rays they can get. Second,  Sunflowers follow the sun; they exhibit a behavior known as heliotropism.  In the morning, the heads will face East, and then the heads will move to track the sun throughout the day.  As they mature, they're tracking movement will become less pronounced as the stem loses its flexibility in order to support the large, mature bloom. Third, don't be surprised if you find a few sunflowers reseeding themselves in your garden after your initial planting. It's a lovely surprise and a little memento from that first batch of sunflowers. Finally, once the seeds ripen, the birds will begin to visit, and you'll notice more activity from species like goldfinches -  they love sunflower seeds. If you feel inclined, you can dry some of the seed heads to share later with the birds during the cold months of winter.   Unearthed Words Here are some words about the winter mindset: Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face. — Victor Hugo, French poet, and writer   Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart. — Victor Hugo, French poet, and writer   The tendinous part of the mind, so to speak, is more developed in winter; the fleshy, in summer. I should say winter had given the bone and sinew to Literature, summer the tissues and blood.  — John Burroughs, American naturalist, and writer, "The Snow-Walkers," 1866   Winter blues are cured every time with a potato gratin paired with a roast chicken. — Alexandra Guarnaschelli ("GORE-nah-shell-ee"), American chef   Keep your faith in beautiful things; in the sun when it is hidden, in the Spring when it is gone. And then you will find that Duty and Service and Sacrifice—  all the old ogres and bugbears of —  have joy imprisoned in their deepest dungeons! And it is for you to set them free — the immortal joys that no one —  No living soul, or fate, or circumstance— Can rob you of, once you have released them. —  Reverend Roy R. Gibson, Poet & Critic   Many human beings say that they enjoy the winter, but what they really enjoy is feeling proof against it. — Richard Adams, English novelist, Watership Down   To many forms of life of our northern lands, winter means a long sleep; to others, it means what it means to many fortunate human beings - travels in warm climes. To still others, who again have their human prototypes, it means a struggle, more or less fierce, to keep soul and body together; while to many insect forms, it means death. — John Burroughs, American naturalist, and writer   Grow That Garden Library Wildlife Gardening by Kate Bradbury The subtitle to this book is: For Everyone and Everything (The Wildlife Trusts) An easy-to-follow gardening guide endorsed by the Wildlife Trusts and the RHS to help you encourage different types of wildlife into your garden. Kate Bradbury is an award-winning writer who specializes in wildlife gardening. She is the author of The Bumblebee Flies Anyway, she works on BBC Gardeners' World magazine and regularly writes for the Daily Telegraph and the Guardian to name a few. What I love about Kate's book is that she breaks it down by groups of species, and each chapter explains what they require to thrive, what their role in the garden is, and how they contribute to the garden ecosystem. Chapters cover pollinators, birds, and amphibians, wasps, flies, and so on - some will be your favorites, while others will be new to you. Kate offers many plant suggestions. And, don't forget that your garden is a shared space. It's for you AND these other species. Kate hopes you are able to observe the habitats in your garden throughout the year. Ultimately, this is a book about creating a space that's as much for you to relax in as it is for the other species you welcome into it, and about getting to know the wildlife around you.

I ran across a little story that involved loganberries. Loganberries (Rubus loganobaccus) grow on vines known as brambles. They smell like raspberries, but they are tart and they have a slightly sweet taste. Loganberries are named for their California creator, James Harvey Logan, who came up with the idea to cross a Blackberry with a raspberry. Sadly loganberries don't have a long shelf life which is why you don't see them in the grocery store very often. If you decide to grow them, most people keep the berries on the vine as long as possible - which makes them more flavorful. Anyway, this talk on loganberries brings me back to Charles Heisler's tribute to Edgar, which was titled "Student Days with Edgar Anderson or How I Came to Study Sunflowers." Charles ended his tribute to Edgar with this adorable little story that included Loganberries among other things and it reminds us that botanists are people too. Charles wrote: "I haven't told you anything about [Edgar's] music sessions. He played the recorder. Nor about the square dances at the 'Barn.' Nor about his cooking. I think one of the worst dishes I have ever eaten was his spam covered with bread crumbs soaked in Loganberry juice —  perhaps because he raved about it so. I hope [to have given you] some insight into the character of Edgar Anderson, teacher, and botanist. The latter is the title he chose for himself and his later years at the Missouri Botanical Garden."

It's a special day, everyone: Stephen has his first "real aroid," and according to Matthew, his first "real tropical foliage plant!" After years of gnat-free living in a home brimming with carnivorous plants, tune in to hear Stephen struggling to wrap his mind around the unexpected side effects of suddenly-broadened horizons. We discuss our skepticism about the supposed R. pertusa mix-up in tissue culture, our care advice, and how this plant can give you a living wall without much effort.

Eliza Blank founded The Sill because she understood that urbanites needed an easier way to find, acquire and care for their houseplants.  Since quitting her job and launching her Kickstarter in 2012, Eliza has grown The Sill into an Instagram and eCommerce phenomenon raising over $13 million in funding, and expanding into multiple retail locations across the U.S.  In honoring her personal ambitions as an entrepreneur, Eliza was also able to honor her mother, and the Filipino side of her heritage as a young girl growing up in a house full of green.    Just like Eliza’s favorite plant, the resilient and fast growing Philodendron, The Sill has taken the world by storm, and I'm excited to share her, and its story with you! Tune in to hear about why Eliza feels like we should lean into our differences, and how she was able to use that as fuel for her fire.  Eliza gives me a quick masterclass on fundraising, and asks all of us to embrace the idea of making mistakes.  Head over to https://www.thesill.com/ and check out the amazing selection of houseplants that you can ship straight to your home!

The Plant Daddies grudgingly admit the numerous merits of the pedestrian but perennially-dependable pothos plants! Even some with rabbit proteins. Matthew reveals that he is secretly propagating them. And listen, we don't get into care advice, but just give them some light and water once in a while. OK?  In this episode: Golden Pothos (7:32) | 'Cebu Blue' (16:55) | Epipremnum amplissimum (24:35) | Silver Satin Pothos (28:45) 

DESIGN ELEMENTS Indoor Plants for Warm Climates The most important elements required for healthy houseplants include light, water, temperature and humidity. If any or all of these factors aren't properly met, your houseplants will inevitably suffer. You might be sweltering under the fans in the heat of a subtropical summer but what about your indoor plants? Dieffenbachia Can they cope or is this the climate where they thrive the best? So let's find out more in this new series on indoor plants. I'm talking with Julia Levitt, Landscape Designer and Director of www.sticksandstonesld.com.au The good news is that tropical plants usually enjoy warmer conditions and don't perform well once indoor temperatures fall below 13-16 C. Plus they like a lot of humidity, that means at least 50%, but better at 70% or more. Most of the tropical, ornamental indoor plants with attractive foliage & colourful leaf patterns are suitable for hot & humid climates. For example Dieffenbachia or Dumb Cane, Dracaena, house ferns of many kinds, Tricolor plant, snake plant, Philodendron, Money plant, Syngonium etc

It's not what you think. Although we love a good Philodendron as much as the next guy, this episode is about how to tend the garden that God has given you. We're joined once again by our friend Barry Moore who is the purveyor of Toworkandkeep.com, a great website that we find really encouraging. Great episode to listen to whether you're a Christ follower or not. If you are, you will find encouragement...and if you're not you'll also find encouragement and maybe a little more understanding of how Christians think about living a life that honors God using the gifts and grace that God has given us in Christ.

Here's my quick tip Tuesday:  If you cant afford or hate the noise of air filters running in your home, get a few houseplants. Look for thick stalks and leaves as they are easier to care for. Philodendron, Rubber Tree and Peace Lillies are a few of my favorites and they really scrub the air. Water once a week, find a spot in your house with a little natural light and you will be fast friends!

Trotz Regentage, die Hitze in Wien nimmt zu. Was die Stadt jetzt noch retten könnte: Der grüne Daumen von Prof. Rosemarie Stangl von der BOKU.  Ein alter Philodendron nimmt im Lied "Topfpflanzen" von Josef Hader sein Kistl unter den Arm und stellt sich raus in die freie Natur. Heute würde er sich hoffentlich auf den Columbusplatz in Favoriten stellen. Hier wird er am ehesten gebraucht. In manchen Grätzel-Ecken von Wien sieht man Blumen maximal, wenn sie mit Kreide auf einen leeren Parkplatz gemalt sind. Das ist nicht nur trist fürs Auge, sondern auch schlecht für die Gesundheit. Im Sommer lädt sich der Beton förmlich auf. Bis zu fünf Grad "mehr" als in schattigen Gebieten sind schon in solchen "Hitzeinseln" gemessen worden. Professor Rosemarie Stangl von der Universität für Bodenkultur will das ändern. Als Leiterin des Instituts für Ingeneurbiologie und Landschaftsplanung setzt sie sich massiv gegen die Verbauung von Grünflächen ein - vor allem am Land. Aber auch Wien soll nachhaltigere Modelle kennen als Nebelduschen in der Zieglergasse. Was sich gegen die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels tun lässt, und warum erst so wenig passiert, erzählt sie im "Wissenschaftsradio".

An estimated 3 million Americans work from home. Many people who work from home claim to be more productive because they're not in a loud environment or distracted by co-workers.  There are some obvious advantages of working from home: avoiding a nightmare commute and getting to work in your PJs. Employers see working from home as  fewer sick days, employee retention, and less money spent on office space. 1. HOME OFFICES CAN BE USED FOR: A. Running a business B. A full time job C. An occasional telecommute D. A place to pay bills 2. WAYS TO LOVE YOUR HOME OFFICE: A. Choose a good location – Somewhere you can concentrate and separate from home life. i. Good light 1. Natural light is best – but also consider: Ambient:  Lighting that’s used to fill most of the room, usually from overhead Accent: A light fixture used to highlight a specific feature like a bookcase, fireplace or piece of art Task: Light fixtures for a specific purpose, like a desk lamp ii. A good view 1. Try to use a room with a window (being in the dark can be gloomy) iii. Create as much storage as possible 1.  This is key to keeping your office neat and tidy as well as being organized.  A cluttered space can mean a cluttered mind! B. Function i.  Think about this before anything.  Consider this space as one of the most important rooms in your house and know that this area is where you need to be most productive. ii. Purchase office furniture that works well for you.  Some people prefer an L shaped desk and others a large table.  Consider a stand up desk. iii. Secure cords underneath to hide unsightly wires. iv. Invest in a good chair – we like the Think Chair by Steelcase v. Cork boards/chalk boards are great for calendars and important lists and notes. vi. Put monitors on shelves to create space underneath. vii. Make fun organizers for pens/pencils, paper clips etc.  – use mason jars, vintage glasses, etc. C. Aesthetics i. Paint the wall a color you love 1. Surround yourself with as much beauty as possible (A dark blah color can be depressing) ii. Fill the walls with art 1. Hang art that speaks to you.  A gallery of meaningful photos or inspirational quotes can be motivating. a. Minted.com b. 20x200.com 2. Have some type of greenery – Purifies the air and boosts productivity.  These are the top 4 plants: a. Spider plant b. Lemon balm c. Philodendron d. Peace Lily iii. Add color with accessories: 1. Rugs 2. Window Treatments 3. Add a comfortable chair with a throw to use for taking breaks or for a visitor

Buying plants online is ridiculously easy - a few clicks and some fancy foliage plant or flowery specimen is on its way to you in the post. But it's a process that's fraught with potential problems. I recently did an interview for the BBC* about problems with online garden centres, but it was such a short chat that I really didn't get the chance to give many of the tips and suggestions I have up my sleeve, so I thought it was a good time to return to the subject here on On The Ledge. In this episode I offer up my tips for buying online and plant swaps by post. I also chat to Paul Holt (@greenwizzard on Instagram), creative director of N1 and W6 garden centres in London, to get some tips on what to do when you visit a plant shop in person.  *You can listen to my interview for BBC Radio 4's You & Yours consumer programme here - scroll down to 'online chapters' and select 'online gardening' to skip to the right segment.  Want to hear me talking about gardening more generally? Listen to my two-part interview with US gardening podcast Verdant North here and here And you can listen to my other podcast recommendation, Sharp, here Perrone's rules of plant ordering online 1. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is Amazing deals do come up online, but generally you do get what you pay for, so if you see that Philodendron 'Pink Princess' for $5, do think before you jump, because rare plants don't come cheap. Be extra suspicious and check everything out very carefully before you buy.  2. What you see isn't always what you get It's easy to be wowed by pictures of houseplants, but ask yourself, are the pictures showing the actual size of plants delivered? Some sellers will put up pictures of a plant that's the eventual size of the plant you have ordered, rather than the size it will arrive at your door. Look for information about pot size, plant height and so on: good sellers should make it abundantly clear whether the picture next to a description is the actual plant you are buying or not. If it's a cutting, are you buying rooted or unrooted? Will the plant be sent still in the pot or bareroot? All of these factors should influence the price you are paying. If it's not clear to you from the website, ask the seller - a good seller should be upfront about all this.  3. Check the courier Many houseplant sellers fall down not because of anything they have done wrong, but because the delivery company they employ to get your plants to you is unreliable. Check what company your seller uses, and investigate their reputation online. Steer clear of couriers who have poor reviews that talk of parcels being flung over fences. When buying multiple plants, make sure you know whether you'll pay a flat delivery fee for all of them, or an individual fee per plant - this can add considerably to your bill!  4. Be extra-cautious when buying from overseas Sometimes the only place to get hold of more choice varieties is a supplier outside your home country, but think carefully before proceeding on this one. Delivery costs can be sky-high, delivery slow, and there can be unexpected roadblocks like phytosanitary certificates and customs charges. Always choose a seller that has lots of experience selling overseas. 5. Reward great service with a five-star review The best plant sellers build their reputation on excellent customer service, so if you have had a good experience with a particular company, spread the word online and offline.  And what about online plant swaps? There are many groups on Facebook and elsewhere that are forums for those who want to swap houseplants, and it's a great way to expand your collection at low cost. That said, you have to have something to swap in the first place, so it can be hard before your collection really gets going. Bear in mind that not all swaps will be a good 'fit', so if someone doesn't want what you are offering, don't get grouchy, just find someone who does!  Once a deal has been agreed, keep your communications timely, polite and clear - let the other person know how and when their plant will be dispatched and hopefully you'll get the same information from you. If things do go wrong, try to resolve things calmly rather than going off the deep end - bear in mind that delivery services are not always reliable, and sometimes life gets in the way of plants! If you have an issue with a swapper, get in touch with the admin on the relevant group. Personally I'd avoid 'naming and shaming' posts as I just don't think they are helpful. We're discussing online plant buying and swapping etiquette and tips over on the Houseplant fans of On The Ledge Facebook group - please do join if you haven't already and add your thoughts!  And finally, if you've got a plant seller you think deserves a mention in my houseplant buying guides for the UK and the US, please let me know in the comments below, or drop me a line to ontheledgepodcast@gmail.com.  Question of the week  Audrey has a problem with a poorly Syngonium, aka goosefoot plant with browning leaves. This could be a symptom of many things, but if the leaf tips and edges are browning it's probably a sign of dry air. Syngoniums are, after all, close relatives of the Philodendron, that lover of moist air. I suggest popping the plant in a clear plastic bag for a few days to help pep it up.  Want to ask me a question? Tweet @janeperrone, leave a message on my Facebook page or email ontheledgepodcast@gmail.com.  Are you supporting On The Ledge on Patreon yet?  If you like the idea of supporting On The Ledge on a regular basis but don't know what Patreon's all about, check out the FAQ here: if you still have questions, leave a comment or email me - ontheledgepodcast@gmail.com If you're already supporting others via Patreon, just click here to set up your rewards!

Houseplant Appreciation Day - Ep10 Show Notes:Today’s featured holiday, started by the Gardener’s Network, is, “Houseplant Appreciation Day”!The end of year holidays are behind us. Decorations are all back in their appointment storage containers and - if you observe Christmas and put up a real tree - the Christmas tree needles are all vacuumed up.Those decorations certainly made your home look festive, but things are looking a touch barren and sparse. What to do?How about sprucing your living space up with a few new plants and tending to any existing plants that may have been forgotten during the busy holiday season. Start by giving your existing plants some fertilizer as a January gift. Ensure your plants are properly watered and otherwise tended to. They may be feeling a touch ignored over the holidays.Now it’s off to the store to purchase some new plants. Orchids are a great addition along with other house plants such as Philodendron and Dracaena.Philodendrons are an easy to care for vinnining houseplants that can tolerate a wide variety of conditions, even low-light levels. Dracaenas are also low-light tolerant houseplants. While all houseplants clean the air through the process of photosynthesis, Dracaenas are super hero air cleaners that will help keep your indoor environment healthier.Plants offer an array of health and emotional benefits. What are some of those benefits?Plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. This is just the opposite of humans who inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Plants can clean the air of pollutants including reducing concentrations of benzene and nitrogen dioxide.Plants increase the relative humidity in your home. Winter is notoriously dry, creating alligator skin and uncomfortable breathing. Plants can help increase humidity, which is a good thing during the dry winter months.Bottom line: the more plants, the healthier your environment.Giving plants as gifts to children and seniors offer emotional benefits. Children learn responsibility and how to care for their plants. To many seniors feel they have no purpose in life. Caring for plants helps give lonely seniors a sense of purpose. If you have children and aging parents, why not encourage them to work together caring for plants?And let’s remember it simply feels good to touch plants, the soil, and fuss over each individual plant. I have it on good authority that when you talk to your plants, they will answer back in wondrous and magical ways.For these and so many other reasons, I encourage you to celebrate National House Plant Appreciation Day. Tune into tomorrow’s show to learn about, "National Human Trafficking Awareness Day".If you enjoyed today's show, share this episode with family and friends, and on social media. They’ll thank you for the gift.To ensure you never miss an episode, subscribe by visiting our website at www.WeirdWackyandTraditionalHolidays.com.
This is your host, Stephen Carter, reminding you, this day is special, and so are you. Have fun, smile, and say a few kind words to your houseplants! They’ll work extra hard to make your home healthier and happier.

This dissertation addresses the biogeographic history of the Araceae family and of one of its largest genera, Alocasia. With >3300 species, Araceae are among the largest families of flowering plants. It is the monocot lineage with the deepest fossil record, reaching back to the Early Cretaceous. Araceae are distributed worldwide, but >3100 species occur in the tropical regions of the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Australia; most fossils from the Late Cretaceous and many younger ones come from the temperate zone in the northern hemisphere, implying much extinction and range expansion. Most subfamilies are pantropically distributed, and almost all genera are restricted to one continent. Alocasia comprises 113 species, many as yet undescribed, making it the 7 th -largest genus of the Araceae. Many species are ornamentals, and two species are of interest for man, either for food (giant taro) or in local cultures (Chinese taro). The origin of these species was not known. Alocasia is distributed in Southeast Asia from India to Australia, with species occurring on all islands of the Malay Archipelago. This region has a complex geologic history shaped by the collision of the Eurasian, the Pacific, and the Indo-Australian plate. The Malesian flora and fauna comprises Laurasian and Gondwanan elements, reflecting the influence of changing sea levels, uplift and submergence of islands, and other tectonic movement. In this thesis, I used molecular phylogenetics, Bayesian divergence dating, ancestral area reconstruction to understand the past distribution of the Araceae family and the Alocasia clade in the context of past continent movements and climate history. For the family analysis, existing chloroplast DNA matrices were augmented so that all Araceae genera were represented by one or more species, with a focus on covering geographic disjunctions, especially between continents. Divergence dating relied on seven confidently assigned fossil constraints, comparing uniform and gamma-shaped prior distributions on fossil ages, as well as several molecular clock models. Biogeographic analyses were performed in a model-based likelihood framework that took into account past dispersal routes based on continent connectivity and climate. I also integrated fossils into the ancestral area reconstruction, either simulating extinct or still existing ranges, and then compared results to those obtained from analyses without fossils. To study the morphology and ecology of Alocasia, fieldwork was conducted in Malaysia and herbarium work in Germany, the Netherlands, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Maximum likelihood phylogenies were inferred based on chloroplast and nuclear loci, sequenced for 71 species of Alocasia plus 25 outgroup species from 16 genera. Bayesian divergence dating of the nuclear phylogeny relied on one fossil constraint and ancestral areas were reconstructed using parsimony- and likelihood-based methods. The Araceae diverged from the remaining Alismatales in the Early Cretaceous (ca. 135 Ma ago), and all eight subfamilies originated before the Cenozoic. The earliest lineages are inferred to have occurred in Laurasia (based on fossils and tree topology), and most lineages reached Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, and Australia during the Paleogene and Neogene. Many clades experienced extinction in the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere during the Oligocene climate cooling. Two continentally disjunct genera (Nephthytis and Philodendron) are polyphyletic and need taxonomic rearrangement. Plastid substitution rates are exceptionally high in free-floating and water-associated Araceae. Ancestral area reconstructions obtained when fossil (no longer occupied) ranges where included in the analyses were more plausible than those without fossil ranges. This is not a trivial result because only in a quantitative (computer-based) analysis is it possible for fossil ranges to influence results (here areas) at distant nodes in the phylogenetic tree. The nuclear and plastid phylogenies of Alocasia revealed the polyphyly of the two genera Alocasia and Colocasia; to achieve monophyly, two species (Alocasia hypnosa and Colocasia gigantea) have to be moved to other genera. There were strong incongruencies between phylogenies from the two partitions: The chloroplast data reflect geographical proximity, the nuclear morphological similarity. This may indicate hybridization events followed by chloroplast capture. Based on the nuclear tree, Alocasia split from its sister group by the end of the Oligocene (ca. 24 Ma) and colonized the Malay Archipelago from the Asian mainland. Borneo played a central role, with 11–13 of 18–19 inferred dispersal events originating there. The Philippines were reached from Borneo 4–5 times in the late Miocene and early Pliocene, and the Asian mainland 6–7 times during the Pliocene. The geographic origin of two domesticated species could be resolved: Giant taro originated on the Philippines and Chinese taro on the Asian mainland.

The root word phil comes from a Greek verb meaning to love. Some common words derived from phil are philosopher, philanthropist, and bibliophile. Note that phil can begin the word as in philosopher, or end it as in bibliophile. But wherever it occurs you can be assured that phil has something to do with love.Like this?
