CLOSED: Wanted: Philodendron's (Beginner)

This is my first post, so hopfully I am doing this right.

The Philodendron bipinnatifidum seems to be a plant that is doing fairly well in my garden. I live in Southern California, Zone 9, Woodland Canyon, surrounded by oak trees. Dry Shade.

I planted a large arrangements of plants last may - and it seems that the Philodendron bipinnatifidum and the red banana plant are doing the best (go figure?). So I was wondering what other plants in the same family would work - and if anyone has any to give away.

I dont have any plants to trade yet (I am new to this). I am willing to pay for shipping, and I also design customer address labels - I can create some for a trade??

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well, so far you are doing everything right. I don't happen to have anything to trade with you, though. Just wanted to encourage you to hang in there and keep posting. Someone will come up with what you need. Welcome to DG.

The only philodendrons I have are the heartleaf, which is more of a vining plant than what you have. I'd be happy to share if you think you'd like some cuttings. I grow mine in hanging plants.

Why not - at this point I am willing to try anything. I dont have any hanging pots set up yet - so this would be a perfect excuse to do it.

What do you need from me? I can reimburse you for shipping charges.

Thank you so much.

PS - Diane - thank you for the encouragement. I am glad I am doing it right.

You can just have them. It's time for me to trim it up anyway, and I'll just send you some. Just Dmail me your address, and I'll send it out.

I have just started some cuttings from an angel-wing begonia and they make beautiful hanging baskets. Would you like a couple of those? They do well in part shade if you have a space like that.

Do I have shade - oh my goodness do I have shade. Right now I am in 100% shade. I would love some angel-wing begonia. They sound gorgeous. I dont have any plants to trade, but I will pay for postage.

Let me know what you would like me to do.....

Thank you - I am so excited.
