    Saying goodbye to a great friend!

    :( After 6+ months of struggling with a staff infection Ichi gave up his fight late last night in my arms... I will miss him greatly & I know that he is now in a better place.

    After a few days I can post this tragic news of Ichi

    Can I use Philodendron in a pygmy set up?

    I know that these plants are toxic for Melleri but what about pygmy? I have some and the ivy I have in their set up is dying...so I wanted to know if Philodendron is toxic for pygmies also. I just wasn't sure since they don't eat leaves like Melleri:) Thanks for any info!
