Jan. Bingo Calls - Philo Theme

Lin...they've become a lot more common recently, but they still carry a pretty hefty price.

You can find them on ebay every once in a while, and various online stores carry them, too.

I got both of these from a plant trading friend who I had also purchased from on ebay (about 5 years ago) and he had also sent me the one with the yellow variegation......that one hung on (but didn't grow, I swear!) for about 2 years, and then I lost it:(

They're both very slow growers, but I think once they pick up speed, they grow faster.
Mine grows better/faster outdoors during the summer, of course, so I won't look for it to do much more until this coming summer.

I have wanted the var spilt leaf for so long. Always out of my range price wise.

#12.

lol Okay...I saw the Silver Streak listed, and I had it on my list when it was called, but I just now realized when I saw Nan's pic that I have that plant!!! lol I knew my plant was labelled Silver Streak, but I just now put the two and two together that my plant was on the bingo list!!! lol Okay, I'm usually not this clueless.

Mine is very small, though. Can I see a far-away pic so I'll know what she'll look like when she gets bigger?
Thanks!
Cheryl

Only 7 left to call ... someone must be getting close here too! I still need 3.

I agree with the others, though, your variegated not-so-split leaf IS really eye-catching. I wonder why no splits? Oh well, she's pretty even without them.

Sharon, how expensive was it? Just curious, of course. lol

I agree, it is pretty...I guess that's why I put up with it's slowness....I'm anxiously awaiting the day she decides to 'split'! LOL!!

As for the reason....likely an age/size thing....it has been a bit too small to climb and I can't seem to keep the moss covered pole moist enough to attract those aerial roots to it.

I'm hoping, too, that when I can place it back outdoors this summer, the humidity will help with the 'lack of splits' (for lack of a better term!).

Cheryl....I'll try to get another shot of the 'Silver Streak' (I think it's botanical name is Epipremnum amplissimum) Apologies for my slow-ness...Plants are at home and camera software is at work.
Being on dial-up doesn't help when trying to post them either!

It varies Cheryl on the price, some on ebay have went really high. I tend to like t purchase starts of plants instead of whole plants due to pricing. I have bid on a few however they usually go out of my price range.

I can't believe no one has bingo yet, I thought when I got back from lunch there would be at least one. WIth only 7 more we should have one soon.

Someone is *very* close....and a couple others are pretty close, as well!!

Do you think you'll make another call today or wait 'til tomorrow?

Oh my goodness- #12 was a call, wasn't it. I missed that. I scrolled up and saw that King of Spade had been called, too. I think I must've missed a whole bunch of calls. I kept looking at the list at the top. lol I think I need to comb through this whole thread. lol ; )

Nevermind...looks like that was all I missed. ; )

I must have missed the call for "King of Spade" too .... need to back track again. LOL.

I am to confusing aren't I.

perhaps I should've kept quiet. lol jk

Well ... it isn't on my card anyway! LOL

There's a few variegated Monstera listed on ebay right now....whew!
Luckily mine was from a friend and was no where near that much!!
(Of course, mine wasn't in a 2 gal. pot as this one is said to be)

If mine were bigger, I'd share, but unfortunately it's just not big enough...sorry:(

I'm going to keep my eyes open for one .... just not one that's so expensive!

Lin

Whoa...that's a huge plant. I looked at this in the plant files and there was a vendor carrying one...for $60. lol Not quite as large as this one, I don't think. But man, does that thing grow. Probably would get too large for my house! lol ; )

There's supposed to be different forms/colors of variegation, and each one has a different degree of availability and therefore price....it's hard for me to tell what's what, though!!

I noted that MiamiMax had posted the photo of the one in DG PF....he specialized in variegated plants, and he would definitely know. In fact, he sells them too, and I can personally recommend him as a wonderful seller.

Lin...if you are seriously seeking one...why don't you go to his website and email him (that's how you find out price and availability)?
His website is http://www.raretropicalplants.com/home_pagex.html

Thanks Nan! I just sent him an e-mail to see if a couple he had listed were available and the prices etc.

2

Got that one! Two to go!

Hope we get more calls today :)

What is the two.

red emerald

How are you feeling today? And family?

Ginny (Which I believe is technically a Raphidophora, but again, is often called a Philodendron)
These leaves aren't as large as they appear in the photo...probably about 4" x 4", give or take.

Splitleaf....if that means Monstera deliciosa.
This is the largest leaf on mine.

makshi: It's #2 on the origianl list we chose our 15 from for our cards.

Cheryl...here's the best I could get of a full view of the 'Silver Streak'.
I apologize for my poor photography skills....I have no good place to take photos!

Hubby and youngest son went to dr today, although she basically told them they were on the down side of the flu and should be better in a few days. Thanks to all who have asked, means a lot to know you care.

Sorry for all those I have completely confused. I didn't do it intentionally.

Nan love your Monstera
I see it here in Plant files with split leaves. So cool.

How do you progate this plant ?
It's on my wish list :))

I love the Spilt Leaf one of my fav.

Philos are fast becoming a favorite of mine.Soo many different types.I had no idea.Thanks Sharon for opening my eyes to them through this game and also thanks to everyone for showing your beautiful pics.Swoooon : )

Gloriosum - leaf

Oh Nan.Thats Another Beauty.Look At The Size Of That Leaf! Awesome : )

This one's really a 'sprawler' and another slow grower.
I suppose it would grow more if I'd re-pot, but space prohibits me from potting anything up 'too big'.

Mine has a whopping 4 leaves:)

What a Beauty Nan! That's one I e-mailed that Tropical place about, (you gave me the web site link yesterday, but I can't remember what it is). I haven't heard anything back yet.


Don't have it on my card, but I love that plant!

Thanks Nan...I didn't realize it was going to trail. lol I didn't know what it was going to do at all!! ; ) Your plants are all so pretty. ; )

im ready for the calls lol
thxs

BINGO!!!!!
