Variegated philodendron

I like this after see a beautiful specimen at the SBG and managed to locate one for sale at AMK.This variegated philodendron is getting too big for its current growing area, moving it to a larger space where it can climb the red palms.

The first begonias I bought by chance from one of the Thomson nurseries. The mother plants are growing too tall and there is a high chance of the plant breaking when its windy, I decided to take some cuttings and cultivate some new plants. This is the rooting pot and they should be ready for repoting in a couple of months time.

Alocasia Stingray

This is the nursery pot, young plants keep sprouting from this pot, I remove the babies every few months and new ones keep growing again.
