J&L come through big. Carcinopsis and alcithoa are available right now. They have pileus, saulii and carcinopsis but not ready for a division for approx 6 months. They put a tag with my name on them, hopefully a nice Xmas present. Dotsonii has been promised so we are left with callithrix, hawleyi, incognito, mantissa, x radio-syndactyle and sijmii. That's a manageable 6 plants, it truly is becoming a treasure hunt. The way I manage the Dracula is that I have the main plant which will not be divided under any circumstances. It is untouchable. I'd like each of them to fill a 8" basket or netpot, with a flush of flowers, they look spectacular. Then I have a second plant in a 3" to 4" basket which is the 'breeder', it is the one which is the source of divisions to make more plants for trading or sale at silent auctions. This is necessary as everyone wants divisions of the same popular strains. Once they've seen it, they all want a division of rozellii, vampira, robledorum, gorgona and 3 or 4 more. I need to protect the main plants of these popular species otherwise they'd get smaller and smaller rather than bigger. Having more than one plant of each species also protects in case the main plant goes south for any reason. By the way, if anyone wants some Dracs, I have divisions of many of them. Love to infect people with the Dracula virus. In the blistering heat of SOCAL, mine and Andy's collection of Dracula will probably be the most complete down here. He and I have already traded about 4 clones which I have and he wanted. I have a slight advantage as I can grow some spectacular hybrids, he of course would get a full body rash if he allowed man made hybrids into his domain. On the other hand he has been collecting them for years and has a spectacular list of different clones for some of the more beautiful species. Nothing comes close to the GH full of Dracula at Hawk Hills. That's probably the center of the Dracula universe in the US. It's all fun, Nick

The most problematic ones we have in Singapore are Epipremnum aureum (they call it the "Money plant" here), Syngonium podophyllum, and Diffenbachia spp/ cultivars as they tend to smother everything that gets in their way. We also have Colocasia esculenta, Xanthosoma spp as well as the occasional Philendendron spp/ cultivars and Typhonium spp, the latter "introduced" by our older chinese folks who use it as herbal medicine.

Hi, I am located in Toronto, Canada and I am just replanting my houseplants. I have various plants available in the form of small or bigger plants with roots or cuttings. I can give you some for free or exchange. These plants have to be picked up as soon as possible, or they will be gone. Some cutting might be available later as well. Pick up only: SUCCULENT OR SUCCULENT LIKE: - Aloe aristata  Lace Aloe  or similar, very nice  I have many plants of this kind of various sizes, but mostly smaller plants. - Aloe Variegata  or similar to it plant  patterns are less regular, but shape of the leaves is similar  medium and small plants, ready for planting - Aloe Vera  plants  small and maybe some bigger - Rosary Vine  Ceropedia woodii  I think it is a variety of this plant, but the leaves looks more elongated and pointed. OTHER PLANTS I HAVE AVAILABLE: - Aglaonema Crispum - "Silver Queen" for shady spots, cleans air from toxins  cuttings - Aglaonema commutatum  Chinese Evergreen  similar to the above - Spathiplyllum Araceae  Sail Plant  Peace Lily, also for shady spots, cleans air from toxins  smaller plants, maybe a few bigger  I will be replanting them - Setcreasea Commelinaceae - Purple Heart  very easy to grow, likes lots of sun  cuttings, some have roots - 1 cutting of variegated Hoya, probably Hoya purpureo-fusca, Jungle Garden - Variegated Ivy  Hedera Helix  English Ivy with pretty big leaves and some yellow around the edges or inside the leaf (cuttings) - Geranium (herb)  this one is not a common variety, but has a different, distinct smell, very nice  cuttings, some start to make roots - Begonia  probably Carallina de Lucerna  ready to go, already out of the pot, a few young plants with roots. I can only keep them in this way for a day or two. - I also have one tropical plant, which leaves look similar to heart shape. I have never seen it in any stores. I believed it should have beautiful flowers, but has never flowered yet at my place. I think it needs much bigger pot and a greenhouse. This one is for sale. I AM LOOKING FOR: - Columnea banksi  more original varieties like gloriosa from Costa Rica. - Jasmine Plant, probably Bouvardia Rubiceae, if I am not confusing it with other plant. It smells very nice, but the small is not overpowering. - Begonia metallica  Metallic Leaf Begonia I can be also interested in a few other exotic plants, which donÂt grow too big and have beautiful flowers. Please contact me for more info at: (416) 538-1087. Please don't wait too long since I can not keep these plants without pots for long. Also if you know about any good place to exchange/trade plants in Toronto, please let me know. Thank you.

Hi I have one I'm torturing in the shadehouse to make it form a liana. When i was in Costa Rica I saw them with birds nest ferns and broms growing right on the stem in mid air. Want it to span 7 feet but not much more Interesting how you can control the size of the leaves by leting them hang down. Had some growing on a wooden dfence and after wilma was the only thing holding the fence together lol.. I'm growing it epiphyticly in a bit of sphagnum on hardi board which I hope holds up. They have the most incredibly strong aerial roots. Always wanted to grow some of the fancy types with the white markings but not willing to risk them outdoors but they sure would be cool lol gary
