Aroids
Since Bill asked, I figured this might make kind of a longish thread and was better off having its own topic. I typed up a list the other week of all the aroids I was working with, I think it's around 25-30ish? I could always dig for it I suppose heh. If anyone has any questions on size or terrarium suitability, ask away
Monstera karsteniana, this is just a pic of one of my cuttings, the plant is kind of growing all over a grow out tank at the moment and not very pretty, but I'll be mounting it to a moss pole and putting it in the greenhouse soon. Leaves get about 5"-6", makes a great med to large terrarium plant.
Philodendron 'Silver Streak', a medium sized vining Philo, leaves 5"-7", great for a larger terrarium and super pretty.
Syngonium macrophyllum, just found this gem last week shoved in the back of someones greenhouse, and just found the ID for it two days ago while searching online. This guy can get huge in it's mature form, but in the juvenile form stays pretty manageable for a larger terrarium (the 10 yr old "mother" plant of this was three feet tall)
Philodendron lanceatum, found this guy last week too, another vining philo with the max size leaf shown in the pic, seems to have a lot of promise as a larger terrarium plant.
Geogenanthus undatus, have one of these planted in a 12x12x18, can be kept small with pruning, otherwise gets to medium sized houseplant size
Rhaphidophora pachyphylla, a popular small shingler
A Philodendron from Ecuador, a great tiny species
Syngonium erythrophyllum collected near Llano Cartii Road, a medium sized vining species
Philodendron Panama, one of two species with flat petioles listed as Panama, this has smaller, rounder leaves and is more trailing, the other has more lance shaped leaves and is a climber
Rhaphidophora I believe hayi, a medium sized shingler
