Would you be able to simulate epiphyte hemi/ephiphyte type of environment by using bark or porous rock (similar to how orchids are grown) as a potting medium for aroids? I don't mind watering daily, and in winter, it is so hard to keep the balance in heavier peat mixes going between too wet/too dry and trying to keep moist/humid soil. I've been wondering about just planting in bark or larger gravel to see, but I don't necessarily have enough plants to 'spare' if it is a mistake. Any thoughts? Which easy grower would be good to experiment on? I also wondered why hederaceum, oxycardium, brazil and a monstera or 2 are growing long stems with fewer leaves. I think they are looking for shade of a tree to climb, from what I've read in your article. Hmmm. I really learn a lot from our aroid teachers (you don't have to be an expert to teach what you know, so thank you for your generosity in teaching
) I have seen syngonium podophyllum running as a vine, but my unsupported 10 year old just grows as a clump and has the 3 part leaves, but it's in a lot of sun. Is that unusual?
