Growing a large philodendron verrucosum and all the challenges 

Great video! I just got my 1st Philodendron verrucosum in the mail today 💚 Thanks for the great tips, and advice 😀 I also use predatory insects, they are a wonderful addition to any large plant collection 🌿🐞

*Memo! Thanks for honoring my request and making this vid!* My verrucosum is larger and I actually snapped it too by accident. I propagated the snapped bit. It’s doing ok. It’s taken FOREVER to root, probably 4-5 months. But like yours, the stored energy in the stem sustained it all that time until roots started to form about a month ago. So now I have two! ☺️☺️ Another cool thing. The mother plant had so much stored energy it actually put out TWO new shoots from the same node below where I snapped it. Currently, both new shoots are growing well and new leaves are forming. Happy growing and thanks again!

Currently the most hysterical plant in my collection and I have been successful with ferns, cissus discolor and begonias.

I use predatory mites regularly as a preventative measure. They are great little things, and I love seeing them on my plants!

Oh... this ficus 💚 is to die for 😍😋

Thank youuu for the advice. Subbed. 😊

"Yes" to a video about predatory insects!

I hear they like cooler Temps and humidity, also hear keeping grow media moist is ehat you have to worry about humidity wise

hey. i can see you are hanging something on your plants . are they amblyseius ? is this a new thing to eradicate pests? will you be able to make a video about this product? i purchased one but reluctant to start using it.

More please 👍

I am struggling with mine 😭 Wondering what's wrong....think it's humidity.

The verrucosum was the first plant I ever had spidermites on.

Verrucosum is best in moss pole all layer of node can get nutrients in moss pole not just in the ground substrate and even if you cut it in the middle the plant can thrive an d survive.

I’ve been searching for a video that talks about philo verrucosum recovery. I received mine from mail 3 days ago and I noticed that the greener leaf has brown color in one of its corner already. The leaves are also wilting but the moss is soaked still. Any advice? I got my humidifier going and grow lights but I don’t see any improvement (maybe I’m just nervous and impatient😟) please help😭

a typical dominance🤔 what is this? & how do you do it to your plants please?

What do you mean you Hydro Spiked it?

how did you get rid of the spiderbugs?

I am successful with most Philodendrons but definitely not with Verrucosum. In fact, i gave up after 5 failed attempts. My conclusions from these failed attempts to share with all who are interested to try:1) Very sensitive plant to change of environment, 2) Prefers cooler temperature ( like airconditioned ), 3) VERY VERY VERY prone to spider mites infestation. Good luck.

Such a beautiful plant, but they always die in my care :(. Even just a replacement by a couple of meters and a tiny difference in climate can make it die..
