24.01.2022 Introducing light, mixing colours, utilising different forms and textures in combinations, it is time to start considering more advanced concepts with foliage colour. As black and white are considered neutral colour, I’m need to expands neutral palate to include basic green foliage. With Aroids, non-basic green foliage functions as colours to play with - chartreuse, cinnamon, variegated, and reds are just some of the different foliage colours that will function as an additional design element in the Araceae Gardens.

13.01.2022 Comments from a recent visitor to the subTropical Xperience Gardens ‘I would almost say it is a compulsory tour for every aroid enthusiast! I feel incredibly privileged with the tour I got and the information I received from Wayne. Apart from all the lovely plants, it was a great opportunity to brainstorm as well and bounce-off some ideas. Thanks, Wayne and see you again!’ One of the largest private collection of Aroids in Queensland Australia, displayed in a cloud forest ga...rden with a massive ‘Living Wall of Aroids’. www.subtropicalexotics.com.au/book-online

10.01.2022 A visitor to the subTropical Xperience Gardens pointed out this Monstera siltepecana growing as an appressed epiphyte, developing fenestrations on the Living Wall of Aroids. The leaf of a juvenile Monstera siltepecana are typically bluish but as they mature become dark green and semi-glossy. The leaf blades are slightly coriaceous (resembling or having the texture of leather) to sub-coriaceous less leathery) and the major veins of a leaf blade are whitish on the blade's underside. The underside of the leaf blades are also slightly bi-colorous. As Monstera siltepecana begins to mature it morphs into a plant that looks quite different to the juvenile form. At some point in the ontogeny of the species the plant becomes multi-lobed with numerous fenestrations.
