Philodendron Gigas is a stunning tropical plant that belongs to the family Araceae. Native to the rainforests of Central and South America, this plant is highly sought after for its narrow, velvet and unique growth habit. With proper care, Philodendron Gigas can thrive and become a beautiful addition to any indoor garden.

1. Light Requirements:

Philodendron Gigas prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially during the morning or evening hours, but prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can scorch its leaves. Place your plant near a north or east-facing window to provide it with the ideal lighting conditions. If you're unable to provide sufficient natural light, you can also use fluorescent grow lights placed 12-18 inches above the plant to supplement its lighting needs.

2. Temperature and Humidity:

This tropical plant thrives in warm and humid conditions. Ideally, maintain a temperature range between 65-85¬?F (18-29¬?C). Avoid placing the plant near drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations, as it can negatively impact its growth. To increase humidity, mist the leaves regularly or place the pot on a tray filled with water and pebbles. A humidity level of around 50-60% is ideal for Philodendron Gigas.

3. Watering:

The watering needs of Philodendron Gigas vary depending on the season and the environmental conditions. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings, ensuring that the soil remains slightly moist but not soggy. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering can cause the leaves to wilt and dry out. It's always better to underwater than overwater this plant. Adjust your watering frequency accordingly, but in general, watering once every 7-10 days should be sufficient.

4. Soil and Potting:

Philodendron Gigas prefers well-draining soil that retains some moisture. A mixture of regular potting soil, peat moss, and perlite or orchid bark will work well. Ensure that the pot has drainage holes at the bottom to prevent waterlogging. Repotting should be done every 1-2 years, preferably in spring, using a slightly larger pot to accommodate the plant's growth.

5. Fertilization:

Feed your Philodendron Gigas with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization frequency to once every 6-8 weeks during fall and winter. Always dilute the fertilizer to half or quarter strength as excessive fertilization can burn the roots and damage the plant. Additionally, flush the soil with plain water every few months to remove any built-up salts.

6. Pruning and Maintenance:

Philodendron Gigas has a bushy growth habit and can develop aerial roots. Regular pruning will help maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Trim any yellowing or dead leaves using clean and sterilized pruning shears. You can also propagate the plant from stem cuttings during pruning.

7. Pests and Diseases:

Philodendron Gigas is relatively resistant to pests, but it can occasionally be affected by mealybugs, spider mites, or scale insects. Keep an eye out for these pests and treat them promptly with an organic insecticide or by gently wiping the leaves with a damp cloth. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot and ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal diseases.

By providing the right amount of light, humidity, and water, along with regular maintenance and care, your Philodendron Gigas will thrive and reward you with its lush foliage, making it a captivating centerpiece for your indoor garden.

This book is aimed directly at professional web designers and is build around Adobe CS6. It can be helpful, but...
Format: Paperback
Preface - I have a lot of experience making webpages and sites, but my experience is very dated (I haven't played with actual web programming in more than a decade). Many things have changed since I was building websites - including the standardization of HTML 5 and the widespread use of CSS. Since I am rebuilding a number of personal webpages - as well as my commercial site - my wife bought me this book to help me catch up on the new technology. Pluses - 1) The book does a really good job of giving a decent overview of the new technologies I need to learn. Like most "Dummies" books, it is easy to read and follow the instructions and information. 2) The book is aimed at actual web designers and while I am not a professional designer, the tips and tricks laid out in this book are very helpful. 3) I am not sure that someone completely new to website construction would get as much out of it as I did - there are a lot of assumptions made by the author about the reader's grasp of certain web technologies. That said, I think someone new to web design could probably still figure out what is being said. Negatives - 1) This book is aimed at someone looking to become a professional web designer. It is NOT a low level book and covers many things that a personal website designer is not likely to need. Given the fairly low price of the book, that isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it isn't presented that way in the advertisements for the book. 2 (and this is the biggie...) The book is built around using a VERY expensive piece of software - Adobe Creative Suite cs6. This software runs ~$1,000. This makes sense if you are trying to become a professional web designer, but for someone at home just doing a website for themselves, it is WAY out of most people's price range. You don't need that software to learn the lessons in the book, but it is heavily slanted for that piece of software. Most of the screenshots are aimed at the Adobe software. I am using a fairly decent piece of software, but I will need to get a book on that particular software to try to do some of the things the book talks about. I found the book helpful, but flawed for anyone NOT getting into professional web design.

Great reference book
Format: Paperback
I started reading this book and gave up after I realized I didn't have the programs that it called for. (The programs are very expensive!) However, I kept this on hand because I started to do more research on HTML codes and taught myself (with some guidence from this book) how to create my own webpages using simple design programs AND coding other sites soley with HTML codes! Decently priced and something good to have on hand when that one thing just doesn't make sense...

Awesome Book!!
Format: Kindle
I was a little skeptical about reading this book due to previous encounters with the Holy Spirit concerning Tim Ross. However, I believe GOD has given me clearance to read this book, and because of this book or shall I say the GOD given words in this book, Welcome to the Basement has been a comprised or a condensed yet straight to the point version of another book I was in the process of reading. It took the leg work out and made it into a simple and clear insight on how to practice the way of Jesus based on the life of Jesus and how to invite others to the table to eat with Jesus. I truly enjoyed this book and can't wait to slowly start back getting down into the basement. Thank You GOD and thank you, Tim Ross, for this book. It was a goldmine!! Peace, love, blessings, Erika.
