Philodendron Martianum

My Philodendron martianum (Philodendron Fat Boy) in the corner of our lounge room. This one is special to me since we recently lost our precious dog of 15 years, who we affectionately called Fat Boy. 🐶 So now I talk to his namesake each and everyday and care for him as lovingly as I did for our four-legged Fat Boy. #philodendron #philodendronmartianum #philodendronfatboy #plants #houseplant #indoor #indoorplant #urbanjungle #containergarden #containergardening #basket #shade #tropical #subtropi

We’re dog trainers in our day job & he was my soul dog, that’s him in my profile picture. He was the love of my life who not only lived with me, he worked with me for 15 years. He’s even the reason I’m alive today, 7 years ago he sniffed out my cancer (oesophageal cancer) prompting me to go to the doctor. He’d climb my chest & sniff my breath & get very agitated. They gave me 3 months to live but thankfully I ended up the subject of an experimental treatment that worked & I’m cancer free now. 😁

What an amazing story! He’ll have left a huge, irreplaceable hole in your heart. Dogs are beautiful souls. Xx
