Vermicompost & the Valentine’s Day Philodendron


www.RedWormComposting.com Presents – My attempt at rejuvenating a philodendron plant I gave to my wife as a Valentine’s Day gift last year. When I purchased it, the plant had a bunch of beautiful red, heart-shaped inflorescences, and it appeared very healthy in general. Since then it has gradually gone downhill due to partial neglect. One of my earliest (and most exciting) experiences with vermicompost involved the addition of some vermicompost to a small Monstera plant (and the subsequent growth to a rather LARGE Monstera plant), so I’m hopeful I will see similar results here. The vermicompost used is the material I harvested recently from my Worm Inn (see Part VI of the Worm Inn Vermicomposting series of videos)

    So the term “less is more” can apply for how much vermicompost you add to your plants?

    I don’t like cut flowers either, I get so sad when they die! I love getting plants instead!

    harvesting in your hanging wormbin looks very practical. mine is in the plastic
    container, so, do you have a video about how to harvest compost from that?
    and, approximately how frequently can you harvest. I started out w/1 # of worms
    about 3 months ago, and see many babies. Also, if you could do a real close up
    of worm ‘eggs’, so I can avoid putting them in with my plants.
    Thanks!!!
