By decorating abandoned bicycles with plants, I would like to bring a little more nature to harsh urban environment. But I would also like the plants to find new homes. I have put out two kinds of plants.
Pothus, or Devil's Ivy, has heart shaped leaves that have ivory streaks.
It has thick, light green stems with little nubbies that roots will grow out of if you lay them over soil.
Philodendron has dark green heat shaped leaves.
Its stems are thin and dark green. Roots will grow from where the stem has joints. Both plants are very easy to care for. Just place the pot on a dish near a window. Give it a little water. Usually when the soil is dry up to the first finger joint, the plant needs water.
Most of these plants should be repotted fairly soon. It is good to wait a few weeks for the plant to adapt to its new surroundings. The change in light and temperature can stress a plant out and repotting is a big deal.
Here is a link to some repotting tips
Please send me a picture of your plant in its new home!
