Sorry for the very long absence. I was admitted to the
Graduate School of the University of the Philippines and am now currently
residing here in Los Baños, Laguna.</div>

As always, the many gardens here have rekindled my passion
for the genus Philodendron. Los Baños is actually famous as a major supplier of
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Philodendron bipinnatifidum</i> (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">P. selloum</i>) leaves in Dangwa and other
flower markets. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">P. bipinnatifidum</i> locally
called “silom” is so common here and yet quiet rare in other parts of the
country, like in our place in Sindangan, Zamboanga del Norte. I think I am one
of the first to bring some. I gave 30 plants to my Aunt last year, which also
is into gardening aroids and owns a flower shop. <o:p></o:p></div>

Last December, I visited Robelle Garden Center in Calamba to
look for some <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hibiscus rosa-sinensis</i>.
One of the stall owners, Mr. Sol was very nice and when I informed him I am
into Philodendrons, he ushered me to a part of his greenhouse to show me a new
hybrid he was able to acquire. I was totally stunned by this hybrid. It was so
beautiful it looked surreal. I took a photo and promised someday to return to
buy one or two if he is successful enough to propagate it. He called it
Philodendron ‘Golden Serratum’. Unfortunately, searching google proved futile,
as no plants of that name was appearing. A close one was the plant Philodendron
‘Moonlight’ x ‘Serratum’ hybrid. This was the photo I took last December.<o:p></o:p></div>

Yesterday, I was able to return to Robelle Garden Center to
hunt for an unknown Meconostigma I happen to see in one of the growers here in
Los Baños The asking price was too high here so I looked around if the plant is
also offered in some of the stalls at Robelle Garden. Indeed, one is offered for PhP1,500.00 for
a medium size plant. I ended up buying the two plants here for PhP500.00 and
PhP100 for a smaller one. This was the bigger of the unknown plants I bought this morning.<o:p></o:p></div>

Anyway, I asked the gardeners if the plant P. “Golden
Serratum” is now for sale. Regrettably, some small plants were displayed but
still not for sale. But they told me that the original plants have grown much
bigger already and are now at the other greenhouse also owned by Mr. Sol. I
went to that greenhouse, and to my astonishment, the plants really grown quiet
big and even more beautiful. Sadly, still not for sale. These were the plants I mentioned.<o:p></o:p></div>

I also visited a farm of a banker friend and was also pleasantly surprised by his collection. The plants for sale were good specimens and are much cheaper than in Manila Seedling Bank. I purchased some for my sister in Sindangan, Zamboanga del Norte (A small red bird's nest (<i>P. melinonii) </i>and its dwarf cultivar<i>, </i>a 'Lynette' (<i>P. campii</i>) a <i>P. lacerum, </i>some <i>P. erubscens</i> hybrids, a juvenile <i>Monstera deliciosa</i> and some palms. All will be packed in a cartoon and will travel with me to my home province. These plants would be a nice addition to her new house.<br />

Some plants in Makilala, North Cotabato.<br />
<br />
I am very glad to have visited some gardens in Makilala while I visited the piggery farms using my feed formulations. The philodendrons and aroids in general were well represented together with some palms and sun-loving plants. Of course, I went directly to the area were there are nets protecting the shade-loving plants below.<br />

This is a unique Philodendron, and may be a <i>P. insigne. </i>This plant loves to climb and the owner had cuttings to control the growth. It is a very beautiful plant that looks like an <i>Asplenium nidus</i> or an <i>Anthurium sp</i>. rather than a Philodendron.</div>

At the back of the farm, a nice collection of red colored Philodendrons were growing nicely with only the leaves of the trees giving them their much needed bright filtered light. The collection include P. x 'Imperial Red', P. x 'Black Cardinal, P. x 'Red Congo', P. x 'Bird Congo' (as called by the sellers owing to its beak-like narrow leaves) and a P. x 'Red Congo Compacta' (a smaller 'Red Congo' with compact growth and a price tag to much).</div>

Some Plants in my Friend's Farm in Davao City<br />

A banker friend of mine, which is also a Philodendron fanatic invited me to his piggery farm which he transformed into a well-landscaped resort farm. I never expect to see really big specimens in his farm. The following were some of his plants.<br />

This plant look like P. x 'Imperial Green' and is the most abundant Philodendron in the farm. It was planted all over the place. I can't imagine how much his plants cost but he told me he already spent almost half a million on plants alone. His plants were in great shape when I visited his farm.</div>

This is one of the largest Philodendron in the farm. The caretaker call this P. x 'Orlando'. A very beautiful self heading plant. He claimed the plant loved the coconut husks he put around it. The roots benefited from the organic matter from the decomposing coconut husks, and more nutrients means bigger and healthier plants.</div>

Although I forgot to take a picture, but the largest of his collection was a mature Red Bird's Nest Philodendron ( <i>Philodendron melinonii</i>) which he bought for quiet a sum of money.<br />
<br />
The garden is still a year old but the whole landscape looks promising already. I look forward to visiting again and see his plants looking more fuller, mature and producing pups for others to enjoy.<br />
<br />
Mindanao really has a good climate for Philodendrons. I look forward to the plants I'll be bringing home to Sindangan, Zamboanga del Norte. May they grow to their biggest and thrive for us to enjoy for many years to come.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02500232404731669853noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610500149211731865.post-84798383083910949552013-04-02T21:16:00.000-07:002014-08-07T11:11:19.563-07:00Giant Philodendrons in Lucban, Quezon<br />
Last Black Saturday, my friends and I went to Lucban to visit Kamay ni Hesus and sample the fine cuisine of the area. I never thought that I would find the largest of my top favorite Philodendron, Philodendron x 'Olympiad' (maybe a true <i>Philodendron pinnatifidum</i>) and a possible <i>Philodendron</i> <i>maximum</i>. The specimens in the gardens of Southern Luzon State University and Kamay ni Hesus were truly majestic.<br />

This giant Philodendron x 'Olympiad' was planted at the base of a tree near the College of Arts and Sciences. The bright filtered light proved to be the best place to maximize the growth of this hybrid. I was even swallowed by how wide the spread of its leaves!</div>

This is a group of Philodendron x 'Olympiad' planted in the main garden together with another giant specimen of<i> Medinilla magnifica. </i>Philodendron x 'Olympiad' is the plant that started my addiction to Philodendrons, and lately I had 2 healthy specimens from my good friend Oyeth.</div>

The plants above were possibly <i>Philodendron maximum</i>. They were planted near the pond. Sadly, some succumbed to direct sunlight and showed signs of sunburn. The plants were truly large, up to 2 meters in spread.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Update 8/8/14): The plant above looked more like <i>Philodendron giganteum.</i></div>

I have the same plant in my collection and has been the fastest growing of all the Philodendrons in the garden. My plant produces almost 1 leaf per week, and the leaves are getting bigger and bigger. I love the plant so much, I bought additional two but smaller specimens. :)</div>

Of course, the chance to visit Chatuchak Market (also known locally as JJ Market) was top of my priority.<br />
<br />
Incidentally, the flower market at Chatuchak opens every Tuesday and Thursday so we were able to visit because we were there on those days. True enough, the main street around the market was full of plants from big trees to small potted plants. Of course, my favorite aroid is also present. The Aglaonemas were in very good condition with brighter reds and pinks compared here in Manila. The Philodendrons were also good but local plants are also competitive in terms of size and growth vigor.<br />
<br />
Although I managed to take many picture, I will just post those with Philodendrons in them. Not many, but the prices were very competitive. I really wish I could bring some home but I did not apply for permit. May be next time.<br />

When the plants in the trays in the preceding pictures grow bigger, they will look like the plants above. They now look like the <i>P. melinonii</i> that can be bought in the Philippines for PhP800-1,500 each pot. Quite expensive but their mature form is truly majestic.</div>

I can't help but take some snapshots on some of the Philodendrons for sale.<br />
<br />
I can't afford them because almost all are already adult specimens. Unfortunately, no names were tagged on some of the plants and when I ask the sellers they don't know the names too. So please excuse me if I cannot identify some of the hybrids.<br />

This cute compact plant is one of the newest hybrids to grace the Philippine garden scene. The sellers call this P. 'Red Heart' but I'm not really sure since I haven't checked its name and parentage. It looked more like a Ti plant than a Philodendron. :D</div>

Another variegated Philodendron that caught my attention this morning. Just one side of the leaf is colored. No name was given, but it's really something to behold.</div>

I bought a similar plant like this last week. I like its simplicity and self-heading growth. The leaves are also shiny and typical but still very nice. They call this the P. 'Spotted Congo' but comparing the two, I beg to disagree. The petiole size alone is very different.</div>
<span style="text-align: center;"> </span><span style="text-align: center;">(Update 8/7/14): The plant above is possibly </span><i style="text-align: center;">Philodendron cordatum. </i><span style="text-align: center;">Mine also have the extrafloral nectaries typical of <i>P. cordatum. </i>It<i> </i>is a valid species and not a synonym of <i>P. hederaceum</i>.</span><br />

This nice plant is sold as <i>P. williamsii</i>, but it looked more to me like <i>P. stenolobum</i>. It is a nice plant nonetheless, only for the wrong name. I've read from my research that it is a common mistake to name <i>P. williamsii</i> with <i>P. stenolobum</i>. In fact, <i>P. williamsii</i> is rare and only a few reputable people and gardens have them. If only a smaller plant is available, am sure to buy one. </div>

A really like the shape of the leaves of this Philodendron hybrid. The seller call it serrated Philodendron. It looked like a P. 'Ring of Fire' to me but maybe I'm wrong. I have an orange form of this plant and I hope it'll grow fast.</div>

Another beautiful hybrid that the seller can't identify. It is a large plant and its serrated leaves really caught my attention. If only they sell smaller plants of this, I want one.</div>

This hybrid has yellow stripes and the seller don't know the name also. It is a large plant and should be a nice plant indoors.</div>

This large plant may be a hybrid of <i>P. warszewiczii</i>, but I'm not very sure. It looked like that species in some of my research. It too is a climber.</div>

Those were the pictures taken when I visited the show to buy the pots this morning. I wish I could go back this weekend. Who knows, maybe some will lower their price, I might buy more Philodendrons for my collection as the show ends on the 11th. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See you again this weekend after I finish repotting my Philodendrons. Enjoy your plants!</div>
