Over the past couple months I've been taking care of all of the plants in my office. No I'm not getting paid for it, I just hate seeing people bring plants up here and watching them die. The one in the attached picture I've grown to love, not only because I like how it looks but because I literally brought this thing back from the dead. Does anyone know what type of houseplant it is? I've tried doing some research and I have no clue.
Thank you! Any idea if it can be cut/replanted? I was wanting to start one at home for myself but wasn't quite sure how to go about it.
This plant is an aroid and is native to SE Asia but this one is likely a hybrid. Look at the base of the canes which are truly stems and see if any can be removed easily from the pot including the roots. Just repot them in a new pot of very porous soil, not typical garden or potting soil. You need to add Perlite, a good portion of peat moss and preferably some orchid bark to the mix. Make sure the stems you have removed are planted deeply enough to allow the roots systems to grow and develop. They are easily repotted. This plant can tolerate abuse for long periods of time but ideally should be watered weekly at the minimum. Don't allow the soil to become soggy and make sure the new pot can easily drain. Fertilize the plant lightly on a monthly basis.
