Growth habit of Philodendron davidsonii

From: EGoldfluss at aol.com on 2007.06.24 at 06:49:38(15844) My davidsonii has been creeping along quite nicely. It is about to outgrow a 20" pot and I've heard it will climb if given something to do it on. The question is would it prefer to climb?

From: "Patricia Frank" <tricia_frank at hotmail.com> on 2007.06.26 at 02:13:32(15862) You'll need more than a totem, a tree would be better. Leaves can be about 2 to 3 feet with a 3 inch stem.

From: "Denis Rotolante" <denis at skg.com> on 2007.06.26 at 14:21:50(15870) Title: Message It will climb quite well, but as to whether it prefers to climb or crawl accross the ground I can not tell you. I took a piece of mine and placed it against the trunk of a medium sized live oak tree (1 foot diameter). It enveloped the trunk of the tree making numerous divisions of itself up to about 6 feet off the ground. I do not know if it is still going strong as I sold that house and downsized to a smaller home 3 years ago.

From: EGoldfluss at aol.com on 2007.06.26 at 14:28:04(15871) The stem is now 2 inches and the leaves are about 2 feet. I grow on and about my window sills so a tree won't do I can't get it into the bathtub to water. I've been successful with hardware cloth and sphagnum totems ranging from 3-4 inches in diameter and supported by plastic coated metal stakes. Every few years I tip the big philos and start again. +More Ed See what's free at AOL.com. _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l
