Herb 'n Garden
TO POT OR NOT TO POT
by Sue Baltes
Spring found me dragging out my fifty year old Phildendron bipinnatifidum (commonly know as Selloum), Sally, out to the porch. You can’t have a plant for fifty years and not give it a name, right? And since all of our names start with “S (Steve, Sue, Stephanie, and Sammie Joe) Sally seemed to fit. I didn’t grow up in a household with plants but I do remember a sweet potato vine rooting in the kitchen window of our cotton mill village three-room house. 22 | asheboromagazine.com
