[Aroid-l] Epiphytic philodendron culture

Hi Calvin,
When I worked for Bob Wilson at Fantastic Gardens in Miami (about fifty
years ago I realise with a shock), he had perfected that technique, and we
would laboriously produce gorgeous totems of various aroids by making two or
three passes through the growth cycle. So, yes, it should work for you, and
I think that strong light will also help the process along, simulating the
growth up through the forest canopy.

Hello all:
I know that some philodendrons need to climb higher in order to get bigger
leaves. The problem is, I don't have all the vertical space for them. So
could I just top off the plant and stick the cutting back onto ground level
and expect the leaves to maintain/increase their sizes from there?
Thank you
Calvin
