Hey, all you Aroid-o-philes, please advise? I have these two pretty little Philo. Gloriosums that are putting on new leaves and busting out of their little 4in. pots. My plan is to pot them up together and sink the pot in the shady border area along the east side of the house, under the huge oak tree.

So they obviously want to crawl along the top of the soil, right? Should I pot them up in a rectangular pot like a window-box so they'll have room to crawl, or should I give them something like a burlap totem already, to climb?

Potting medium? Can I go big on the new pot, or must I gradually increase the pot size?
