I don't know if anyone remembers me, but a few months ago I joined here trying to save my philodendron that was virtually dead. I wish I could say that it is flourishing, but at least I can say it's not dead yet. I've got two little cuttings left, one of which started to root, but seemed to have stopped, and the other just started sprouting new growth, so I'm a little excited.
Anyway, inspired by trying to save one lone plant, I seem to have caught the gardening bug, and now have a total of 15 houseplants (most of which are healthy ).
Just wanted to say hi to everyone again, and let you know that I will probably be appearing more often with questions about my various new plants. This community is really great!
love, Everyone's favorite garden Pup

Howdy! It must be really hard to kill a philodendron! I have two that are 30 years old! And, once when my first husband got mad at me for accidently going to Florida when I was supposed to be going to the store, he cut all the big, beautiful "arms" off my prized philo named "Greta". (Yes, I name my plants!) Well, Greta is one of the philos I have that is 30 years old! She's still with me!
Nice to see you!
Cindy

It's really not that hard. All you need to do is leave it in a dark room with no heat and neglect to water it for one Michigan winter. That's all there is to it. Then it's darn near dead.

Accidentally???? ROFL! I'm truly, sincerely curious Cindy.... Has anyone ever referred to you as a "Dingbat"? (or should I have asked "How many times"?)
Welcome home, Pup!
