Terms and Definitions

 

As I go along and find the need to explain terms used in new posts I will continue to add to this page. 

Aroid- Adjective also: araceous of, relating to, or belonging to the Araceae, a family of plants having small flowers massed on a spadix surrounded by a large petaloid spathe. The family includes arum, calla, and anthurium

Growing Medium-The material your plants are growing in. Outdoor plants usually take soil while indoor plants often require special mixes. 

Lightspecifically type of plant light needs.  see post on light here 

Zones- garden zones are numerical and have A or B after them to represent the average annual minimum temp for that area. This is useful when you are outdoor gardening because some plants will not come back if its to cold in the winter. here is a link to a map where you can find your zone. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bf/USDA_Hardiness_zone_map.jpg
