Plant wants
I am a collector. Most of my plant collection is from the family of Aroids (Araceae). But my interests reach into many other families of plants, like the Prayer Plants (Marantaceae).

If you’re still interested in Philodendron glaucaphyllum (I think actually P. hastatum, technically), we have some at work I could buy and send to you for cost of plant and postage (4″ pot or 8″ hanging basket, I think). E-mail if you’re interested in trying to do this around May or so.
(I mean, e-mail now, if you want to do it then. Don’t wait to e-mail, ’cause by then they’ll be gone.)
One of the local nurseries (not mine) had Aglaonema ‘Gold Dust’ available for a while, though I’m not sure they still do: it was Pierson’s, in Cedar Rapids, and I think they may have lost them in the flooding last summer. But I can check.
For what it’s worth, I had a hard time keeping P. hastatum indoors. It lived, but stayed tiny and looked sad. Similar experiences with P. bipennifolium.
Hoping you can help me. My family has a Philodendron that we would like to sell or donate before the first freeze. (I believe it is a Philodendron pinnatifidum.) It’s 8+ft tall and 10ft in circumference. “Phil” has spent many happy years with us in Tulsa. However, with the passing of my father, Phil’s normal trek from the patio to the garage will not happen this year (or any other). He’s just to big and heavy for us to manage. Any good ideas about who I could contact that would want such a plant? Time is running out…
