From: EGoldfluss at aol.com on 2005.05.12 at 17:26:40(12940) Hi- I use 1/4 inch hardware cloth stuffed with wet sphagnum. I secure the cylinder with plastic airplane ties and affix it to a redwood 1 x 2 stake. Works great. +More Ed _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

A constraint I forgot to mention is that my wife must think that it looks elegant. I'm using a sturdy green plastic mesh with sphagnum moss within now for the plant, a Philodendron I got from Dewey some time ago. Alas, it has topped the totem I have. The leaves are getting smaller again and it is gangly. I could root the top and lop it but I'd like to grow it one size up...philodendronlings are now sprouting at the base filling it out nicely.
