Wow, had no idea that Pilo's flowered!

Keeps getting better and better. How long have you had this one MJ and what is the climber clambering up the tree top right?

Shucks, I'll probably miss them. I fertilized the whole garden before I left.

Evan,
Got this as a seedling summer 2012. I saw the mother plant at EFG and they had it in a 20 gallon nursery pot and it was in dire need of repotting.
It took awhile to get going but this year is going nuts. I re-potted it in late February, and I tipped the pot over yesterday and it has roots growing out the bottom already.

The little vine you see is Cissus amazonica. ( Vitis amazonica ) Amazon Jungle Vine (Vitis amazonica)

So, here's my Swiss Cheese Philo that I got for a buck last fall. I tucked it away in the shady border when we went on a trip in December and have not laid eyes on it again until this week. Seems like it's thriving on neglect! Two big long runners about 3ft. long, and it had put roots down into the ground under the pot. Should I pot this thing up, and give it a totem to climb on? Or put it in a hanging basket?

All suggestions welcome!

Swiss Cheese Vine (Monstera obliqua), if that's a correct ID, is an epiphytic climber.

Uh oh, so it's going to grab onto whatever I put it near? Guess the totem idea is the one, huh?

One of my split-leaf Philos is very happy these days. It was a struggle to get a decent picture until I accidentally popped open the flash. A revelation . .
