I would love to have either cuttings or preferably a rooted start of any variegated version of the Gynura, Velvet or Purple Passion plant!! Also would love to have a start of Swedish Ivy (cutting fine but would prefer small rooted cutting). Thank you SO much! Please check my trade list to see what may intrigue you.

Marie, your plant is on the way. I tried to e-mail you back via your e-mail address, and it wouldn't go through. It kept getting bounced back to me as undeliverable. Maybe you have a firewall? Anyway, since the weather forecast is warmer for several days for most of the country, I mailed it out today via priority mail. I hope you enjoy it. I sent a nice one! Talk to you later Sandy

Billy, lol..dirty socks. Can you imagine a field of these plants in bloom? Yuck. Of what I remember, their flowers were nothing to get excited about, though it is nice when plants bloom, even if they stink. Guess it's like the Starfish cactus..what do they call it? Carrion flowers?? Supposed to smell like rotten meat, but the flowers are very pretty. I've talked to people who hate the smell of all flowers, including Jasmine or citrus. My father hated the scent of flowers..before he passed away, he said he didn't want flowers at his wake. My mother had this printed in the ob, but people still bought flowers.. Jen, don't forget to pinch first two leaves occassionally..you don't want it growing spindly. My PP was bought at the grocery store when they had a 2.00 plant sale..I bought that among some others..the thing is it only has one long stem..I'm thinking of taking cuttings, rooting then adding w/mom. but I'll wait until next spring before attempting this..it takes forever to get plants to root this time of year..Good luck w/your PP..Toni

Yes, they do this kind of thing on Plants Exchange all the time, & there's always a guide posted over there somewhere. In a nutshell, you just take the cuttings, wrap the cut end in a damp paper towel, put the paper towel end in a baggie, fasten the neck of the baggie, either with a bread tie or with the baggie's zip seal, to keep the moisture on the cut end, put some crumpled newspaper in a Priority Mail box marked "Perishable: Live Plants", gently place the plants in there, add more crumpled paper, & send it. (I once received a plant that had been wrapped in padded plastic in a bubble envelope, but neither the plant nor I was happy about it.) Best luck, & I hope your friends & family enjoy the plants!
