I’m so excited because that means he is feeling happy and healthy, despite still showing battle scars and damage that is slowly going away. I got this plant on a whim from Gabriella’s (IYKYK) for $9.99 and it’s been one of my favorites ever since! He lost a lot of leaves from the thrips, so part of me wishes he’d concentrate on regrowing those instead of flowers, but I have to remember that he is the one in charge; I just facilitate his ability to grow. Anyway hope everyone has a great weekend. 🌿🪴💚 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #FloweringPlants #PlantLove #Indoorplants #babevila #Aroids #AroidArmy 7 4 Comments @HoyaAddict · 5M A little slice of heaven ❤️ #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantCorner #Anthurium #QueenAnthurium #KingAnthurium #AlocasiaAddicts #aroids 20 6 Comments @WelsomeRhodotus · 8M Playing with pink! 🩷❤️🧡 I rearranged my plant shelves a bit to display the pink, red and orange leaves a bit more prominently.

She has gotten so big and beautiful! There's another 3 leaves that are emerging, and they're all not fully variegated, which is funny, because the last time she pushed out some leaves, they were all variegated! My plant has found balance. 🤣 Also included a pic of when I first got her back in June or July of this year! It's the one where she looks all crumpled up. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newgrowth #syngoniumsquad #freshleaffriday #growlights #rareplants #pinkplantsofgreg #milkconfettisyngonium #variegatedplants #aroids #plantlove #beforeandafter #halfmoon 47 22 Comments @Popcornjoness · 1Y Can I just say my #aroids are so much happier in the chunky mix.

I love it, and now he can climb the wall if he wants! He's been shooting out new leaves ever since I potted him up in an aroid mix I made. He's in a metal pot that I drilled drainage holes into. 🗡️⚔️ #philodendron #philoflock #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newgrowth #planttherapy #wallmount #theamigos #aroids 16 10 Comments @LittleSongbird · 1Y At a shop with plants earlier, and I found this gorgeous moth on some hydrangeas!!

My philodendron has not one but two or three inflorescence while my Regal Shield has been pushing out inflorescence like an #OctoMom since like September. I’ve lost count. I think I’m going to cut them off tonight lest I wake up and the state of Texas has passed legislation regulating botanical autonomy in matters re ornamental vs reproductive prerogatives. #happyplants #centraltexasgang #aroids #philodendron 14 4 Comments @LittleSongbird · 1Y Soil for both succulents and aroids? 2 17 Comments @HoyaAddict · 1Y What is an aroid? 🤔 We all love to collect these beautiful beings, but what exactly are they and why are they different from other plants? Aroid is a colloquial name for the family name araceae! All araceae are monocots, but what is a monocot? (Pic 1) All flowering plants are either a monocotyledon or a dicotyledon, you may have grown a plant from seed and notice the first leaf or two. This will tell you what you have! A monocot will make one leaf a dicot will make two. (Pic 1) This often continues through its life, like a monstera making just one leaf at a time, not a pair of leaves like a mint plant. Pretty cool huh?! It also means other things but I won’t go into details here (let me know if you want to learn more) 💚 Okay so now we know aroids are monocots, what other differencess does it have? 🕵️♀️ Well you may have noticed the awesome flowers of a peace lily before. Did you know this is actually a modified leaf called a spathe, with a spike called a spadix. Pic 2) The male and female parts of the inflorescence can be either perfect or imperfect. This just means they can be seperated into different sections (imperfect) or all together to make lots of tiny flowers (perfect) (pic 3) Is there anything else cool about aroids? You bet! Many varieties can generate thier own heat especially during flowering! Not only that but they descended from low land swamp dwelling plants. This gave them the ability the ability to have roots that can withstand floods! Such an epic feat means we can water propagate these plants easily and even keep them alive in water permanently with good nutrition! Now we know what aroids are, how many types are in your collection!?! Here’s a list of of some of the most popular aroids (there are many more than this to explore too!) Alocasia Anthurium Amorphophallus (pic 4) Anubias Amydrium Arum Adelomena Aglaonema Bucephalandra Caladium Calla Colocasia Cryptocoryne Cyrtosperma Dieffenbachia Epipremnum Homalomena Monstera Philodendron Pothos (every plant you think Is a pothos probably isn’t. pic 5) Rhapidophora Scindapsus Schismattoglottis Spathiphyllum Syngonium Wolffia Zamioculcas Zantedeschia Phew that was some list 😮💨 Don’t stress if you don’t recognise many but I’m sure you’ll notice a few you may own! This is one of the most amazing plant families in my opinion. If you found this interesting and would like to like to learn more about aroids or other families please let me know!
