Philodendron Paraiso Verde - Chop & Prop

[@denisej.9936]

Thanks! I was thinking about chopping my plant and sticking it back into the pot with the original plant to make it fuller looking. Glad to see how it’s done!

[@GreenChickGardens]

I actually still wasn’t pleased with the fullness so I just chopped this one all in to individual nodes! 😳

[@FloridaHiker619]

I love the shape of the leaves.

[@GreenChickGardens]

Yes! An underrated houseplant I believe, and an easy one to care for.

Nice Nice!!

[@monstrousmaatsal]

what a gorgeous pattern!

[@GreenChickGardens]

Yes once the variegation starts to show, it is beautiful!

Like the charcoal, I’ve had good results using cinnamon.

[@GreenChickGardens]

I’ve heard that works. A lot of people use that on desert rose roots, I’ve seen but never tried. Have you tried charcoal? Any difference or about the same?

[@Yambataller]

Do you ever do air layering props with sphagnum moss in plastic before cutting? It produces a lot of roots within two weeks and it gives the cutting a head start. But Paraiso Verde roots pretty fast. I have two vines on a pole and it’s wild!

[@GreenChickGardens]

Yes I have and it has worked very well for me. However I hate hate hate trying to pluck sphagnum moss out of new roots! But yes, I think I’m going to do that on a few more plants here soon! Thanks for watching.

[@Yambataller]

@@GreenChickGardens Oh I never put out the sphagnum... I just plant it as is. it works well with soil around it! But some plants I also just grow in moss.

[@elmerbaez6784]

Yes, it's a very leggy plant. I have a small one.

[@GreenChickGardens]

Yes this one stayed in my house in too shady an area for too long! I’ve brought it out to the greenhouse and you can see what more light has done for it!
