AraceaeWhile they are not carnivorous, aroids keep on fascinating the plant collecting community. Their inflorescence is called a spadix, which has a unique ability to attract insects by heating up to 45 degree Celsius and emitting a not always pleasant odor to be even more effective. Not rarely the flower consists also of a pitfal trap that assists in securing pollination. Some of the aroids bear the largest flowers in the world, also the leaf size can rank up to the top. Most aroids enjoy moist and shady growing conditions, which are easy to provide, thus many people are successful in growing them. All Aroids are poisonous to humans and animals because of Calcium oxalate crystals. While some plants are consumed, this can be only done after thorough cooking.

Alocasia 'Amazonica'
One of our head turners and one of my favorite Aroids, it is a hybrid of Alocasia longiloba and A. sanderiana. The leafs of adult plants get huge, while turning very dark with white veins. The sturdy, glossy leafs resemble African death masks, which are also sometimes used as their common names. The name of this hybrids refers to a Florida based nursery and has nothing to do with the Amazon or South America in general, as both parents are from South East Asia. Our plants are still young, having two leafs each. We will have lots of these plants and are open for wholesale inquiries. Price: Php 250 |

Spathiphyllum is also called the 'Peace Lily'. It has white flowers that can emit a very strong and pleasant scent, which strongly depends on the species.
