Today I went to HD and they had one Philodendron Moonlight. So I grabbed it up really fast. I think it is really pretty. Now if I can find a Pink Princess I will be happy.

My dear Jesse-

You are succumbing to what is known as "Philo addiction".:) How many do you have now? The number appears to be growing quickly! It's really bad when you "fiend" for a new philo. I mean, it's REALLY baaaaaaaaaaaad. How would I know this, you may ask? I, too, suffer from Philo(aroid) addiction. I'm on the prowl even as I write this.:)

My addiction began 2 years ago with my first Philodendron- 'Pink Princess'. I started out with the rarer type, rather than the common, and worked my way backwards if that makes sense. It was just t his year that I bought a Philo scandens....yeppers.....the common heartleaf Philo. To date I have around 11 Philodendrons. All of them in varying sizes.

Okay, I'll shut up now. LOL

Jesse, those are the 2 I've gotta get too! LOL I looked at Lowes today and brought home 2 little house plants. One, I've never heard of before, gotta look it up, but she sure is cool.
Maybe I'll try HD tomorrow.

I am still looking for a Pink Princess. I've never even seen one, much less bought one. I've seen photos that you all have posted of one but I've never seen one in real life. If I ever find one, I'm sure she will come home with me.

I have a question about this plant. It is planted in a pot that is only about 3 inches deep. It is a really nice pot and looks great but I'm thinking it might be too shallow. How deep do you all think philodendrons should be planted?

Nice Philo Plantcrazi. I have about 20 in my collection now. It can be an expensive addiction as well. I have a bought several from ebay. And several from trades as well.

They are my favorite.

I have the moonlight, it has been a slow grower for me though, not sure if its just me or I am doing something wrong. I actually managed to kill the infamouse pink princess earlier this year. I recently was given another start by an dger. Trying really hard, so far doing good.

Can't anwer your question on the dept of planting. I think it would depend on what type of philo you have planted. I tend to plant more vining plants in narrower pots.
