I’ve been thinking about creating a herbarium focused on money plants (also known as pothos or Epipremnum aureum) and could use some advice. I want to preserve different varieties and document their characteristics. Does anyone have experience with this? Best methods for pressing and preserving money plant leaves? Given their waxy texture, should I be doing anything special? How should I go about labeling each specimen? Any tips on what information would be valuable to include for each variety? Are there creative ways to arrange them in the herbarium to showcase both the similarities and differences among the varieties? Any recommended supplies or tools that make this process more efficient or successful? Has anyone found any particular challenges or rewards in creating a herbarium for houseplants? I’d love to hear your experiences or suggestions!
