Plants, like us, often take time for changes in environment and conditions to take effect. When we notice something is not right with our plants, it may be an immediate fix that shows positive results quickly, or it could be something that takes longer for improvements to be seen.

The Philodendron Pink Princess is a very popular plant. In it’s mostly, or all, green form, it’s relatively easy to find. But with lots of pink leaves or even lots of pink sections on leaves, it is substantially harder. But why?

There is a lot of interest in variegated plants at the moment and one of the most talked about is the Variegated Monstera Deliciosa. This plant is covered mostly in one colour variegation, the cream/white and green plant but did you know that there are multiple colours of variegation, plus a sub species of plant and a tissue cultured Deliciosa as well?

Many Plants brought in Australia are grown from what’s called a ‘plug’. Made from different materials, plugs are used due to their optimised ability to provide correct growing conditions for the tiny plant or seed and encourage healthy root growth. Once the root system is established, the plant can be potted into soil, very often Peat Moss, with the plug as it is made of a degradable material that will not hinder the future growth of the plant.
