Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Some philodendrons trail happily from a shelf. Others need a real climbing support, a long pot for a crawling rhizome, or carefully balanced warmth and humidity. Treating them all alike is where most problems begin.The Indoor Philodendron Handbook is a practical, clearly illustrated guide to understanding what your plant is trying to do. It replaces rigid weekly routines with a method for reading stems, nodes, roots, pot weight, light, temperature and humidity.Inside you will learn how to: ● distinguish climbers, trailers, crawlers and self-heading philodendrons;● choose and manage moss poles, planks, bark and aerial roots;● encourage larger, more mature leaves without overfeeding;● mix peat-free substrates for established plants, crawlers and fresh nodes;● water according to the root zone rather than the calendar;● propagate from top cuttings, single nodes, chonks and air layers;● understand variegation, reversion and all-white growth;● diagnose yellowing, stuck leaves, root rot and common pests;● acclimate imports and poorly rooted collector plants;● grow more than 30 species, hybrids and cultivars;● use ten quick-reference care cards when a plant needs attention.From forgiving heartleaf philodendrons to enormous crawlers and rare velvet climbers, Cordelia Tropics shows how to build a healthier, better-labelled and more resilient collection.
