The above URL leads to a page about Philodendron patents, which are useful for determining information about a particular kind of Philodendron's history (and for identifying the correct name, etc.)

Edit: There aren't as many Philodendrons in this list as I first thought. So, I found more by doing a patent search online.

I'm very interested in the concept of growing houseplants from seed. There doesn't seem to be much information that is easy to find about it, however. So, I plan to put information I discovered in this thread.

I've read that these can be grown from seed:
Adromischus cristatus (Crinkle Leaf Plant or Key Lime Pie Plant)
Codariocalyx motorius (Dancing Tree)
Fatsia japonica (Japanese Aralia)
• Hedera helix (English ivy)
Hypoestes phyllostachys (Pink Polka Dot Plant)
Monstera deliciosa
Philodendron sellous (Philodendron Hope): I believe they meant Selloum (Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum), which isn't a Philodendron anymore.

I've personally saved and sprouted a seed of Chlorophytum comosum before. The seedling was small and slow-growing, but recognizably a spider plant. It didn't survive beyond the seedling stage. I'm guessing some extra phosphorus and potassium and/or humidity could have saved it.

So, I just made some tuna fish sandwiches. They turned out pretty good, in a tangy, peppery sort of way. Here's what I did:

I mixed two cans of Winco tuna in water (drained) with some mayonnaise, a quartered and sliced tomato, several slices of pickled banana peppers (I don't think they're the spicy kind), yellow mustard, and corn chips. I mixed it all together in a bowl with a fork, and made four sandwiches with it. I just finished the first one (it remains to be seen how many I will eat; I plan to put the rest in the refrigerator for later).

Anyway, the taste was quite good. I knew I liked corn chips dipped in tuna-mayo preparations, but I hadn't thought about putting them in a tuna fish sandwich mix until now. Both the corn chips and the peppers add quite a bit of good flavor.

I do recommend this recipe, but it might be a little too tangy for some. I like tangy, though.

I've been trying out Android 10 with my new tablet. It's a Vastking Kingpad SA10. I liked it quite a bit as is, but I just got a new bluetooth keyboard to go with it, and now I've got all kinds of features; so, it's a lot like a laptop now in its functionality (there's hidden functionality that comes out when you hook up a bluetooth keyboard to it (like a lot of shortcuts).

The specific keyboard I got has a lot of cool buttons, too, like buttons for copying, cutting, pasting, selecting all (no menu button, though), controlling a music player, a home button (like the circle button on Android), changing the brightness and volume, etc. Ctrl+ arrow keys works as it does on my desktop.

Anyway, Android 10 has a lot of cool keyboard shortcuts, as does the Chrome web browser, with it, too. Firefox doesn't seem to have a bunch of cool shortcuts, yet.

The one problem with the keyboard is that most of the 10-pad keys don't work when num lock is off (and I was hoping to use the home and end buttons on it). There are additional home and end buttons if you press function with the arrow keys; this is a consolation. The bluetooth seems to work great!

The above website shows pictures of how Golden Pothos leaves look as they mature in the wild. Apparently, they can look a lot different than most of us are probably used to who don't live somewhere tropical. Anyway, take a look!

I wonder if giving them the pots is enough to get the leaves to change. Age alone doesn't seem to do it. Perhaps they need a different kind of light or humidity.
