Callisia fragrans broken stem
Comments (9)TOK, I put them on soil, with the bend near the foliage end (where the root nubs are) in contact with the soil. The stump should continue growing the stolons still attached to it. Let us know if something else shows up? I've had this plant for years and it still does things I've never seen before sometimes. Hey, Asleep, that's cool to hear. If I'm ever short on babies to propagate... Can't imagine that though, this is an "invasive" house plant, that grows faster than the space I have (permanent residents have gone from pot 1 to 3, but I still give babies away often.) They have to hang or the stolons will take root in nearby pots. " if in a humidity trap of some sort or another." Sounds like home, sweet home. LOL! If you need something replaced that I have, please let me know. Amazing that any plants can survive up where you are, brrrr! (Speaking of brrr - I had to put on long sleeves & pants this morning. Record low of 60ð! I dunno what's up with email, sent you a note a few days ago. Blame Yahoo? Check out this stolon that started making its' own stolons. Wild!...See MoreBush gone wild
Comments (2)I have no idea which zone I live in - ha ha. Calgary, Alberta if that helps any. The shoots are now up every where within 20 feet of where the bush was originally planted. I'm sad as I don't want to have to dig up the sod to eradicate. I will go to garden centre though and see if I can find the stuff you were talking about. Thanks!...See MorePropagation gone wild
Comments (25)Hello again, for those that asked for updates, here's where I am so far. I have had a second one flower with the same purple as my first, and 2 more flower in pink, which is lucky as i don't want them all the same colour. Here's a picture of my first one that flowered, and it hasn't stopped flowering since that day....See MoreNewbie Gone Wild
Comments (19)Hey TomCath, I love the irrigation system. I thought that Drip Depot had been recommended by someone on here, but may be wrong. It saves me hours and hours. It is true, that I had some problems with Y faucet splitters, the main feed popping off, and little feeds popping off. I only turn it on when I'm home. But I've now found that we have a faucet in the pool cage that is attached to a well. Who knew? I don't mind setting up the irrigation system to run once a week when I'm not here if it's attached to a well. If there is a failure, town water would get a bit expensive, and people do come in twice a week to check on the house. (I am unwilling to leave the house water on when I go north, even for a weekend. Our house is from the 50's and has fussy plumbing.) Anna, I am so not worthy. I dream of the amazing plants you have chosen, all the texture and foliage colors. Your gardens are spectacular. Garf, I guess we newbies are nuts for bananas and tropicals. And some of the bananas that got chopped down last year after the freeze, have indeed come back. The big one in the Bromeliad area was here when we moved to the house. The leaves are so darn beautiful. The others we'll have to see. Dirty, I'm going to cut back the Cape Honeysuckle as soon as my back recovers. I'll take 1/3 down low so there are still blooms for the bees and the butterflies. It is really in the wrong place for healthy citrus. Randy, my family are crazy for epiphytes. So finding the orchid cactus was a true gift. Can you believe a landscaper said we should kill it? Next landscaper, please! Other Carol B and Zacky, the Porterweed is purple. I put in two plants, and have not seen any offspring in two years. Sylvia, we harvested the kale for Thanksgiving. I tossed it in hot pepper and garlic flavored oil in a very hot wok until it wilted and softened somewhat. Then I put Parmesan cheese, toasted pignoli nuts, and lemon juice on top. I almost felt like Sylvia! Carol B. in Sarasota with an ice pack. No gardening for a week....See Morerealcocacola78
