Re: [Aroid-l] Totems

Hi Enid, Hermine and Ed

Thanks for the suggestions.  A constraint I forgot to mention is that my
wife must think that it looks elegant.  I'm using a sturdy green plastic mesh 
with sphagnum moss within now for the plant, a Philodendron I got from Dewey 
some time ago.  Alas, it has topped the totem I have.  The leaves are getting 
smaller again and it is gangly.  I could root the top and lop it but I'd 
like to grow it one size up...philodendronlings are now sprouting at the
base filling it out nicely.

Clear skies,
Al
