lmao, well I am glad that it worked out well for you! And to think I was so careful about how I did all mine. Maybe I would have had better luck if I did a few upside down!

I did one upside down hoping to get a curled trunk like I saw someone post a pic of. A new spout came up right side up from the roots and the original part died. I guess it fixed itself, lol. I stopped by a customers house a few weeks ago to pick her up and she had these cool plants that looked like water plants but they were in the ground and she gave me some and told me to cut the umbrella looking leaves in half and put in a vase of water upside down and that how you root them. I did and sure enough they are getting roots. She said you could grow them in a pond or in a pot or the ground just keep moist. I'll post a pic of them when I remember to take one.

Kristy, that is umbrella grass. Watch out, it will take over your yard. Its makes a great barrier, but dies back in the winter. Its like monkey grass, or bamboo you can't get rid of it. It shoots our runners underneath the ground, it comes up everywhere, very hard to maintain in one area. I dig it up every spring, and still cannot seem to get rid of it. Barbra,

Kristy I kept mine in a pot! I didn't bring it in over the Winter.
Michele (wildflower) is who had the curled trunk I think..It was very cool looking..

Sounds like a good idea to keep it in a pot..if it can root like that, it must be invasive, lol.

OOO I wanna see Michelle's curled trunk! Anyone remember what thread it was in..Michelle if you read this, can you please post the pic?..Or whoever's it was, lol.

Keeping it in a pot won't help. They send seeds out all over the place. There is a house down the street that has been overtaken with this plant!
Tally HO!

Great memory Kylie! Daniella, here's a link:

Thanks wildflower, I couldn't remember who had it, lol. Its cool. Did it stay that way? Uh, oh. I will keep the umbrella plant in a pot and you are right it reminds me of bamboo. I wanted some in a pot in the pond and I planted a big clump of of she dug up with the roots in a pot. She had hers in a triangle shaped retaining wall bed. I will watch for seeds, lol. The ones rooting upside down in water are growing new little umbrellas from the roots. I will try to get a pic in the morning. I have been busy working in the yard when I'm not at work, lol.

Kristy, did you trim the leave off the plant about an inch around the center, before you put them in water upside down? My kids thought it was neat, seeing roots form from the center of the leaf. Beware this plant is pretty, but will take over your beds. Barbra,

Yes I cut off the leaves really short and thats where they are rooting from. I will be careful. Its not going in the beds here. She has deer and can't grow much so I guess thats why she has them planted in a bed.

Michelle, that is SO cool! I wish I could get one to do that! How is that one doing now? Which brug is it?
Any recent pix? Thanks for posting the link.
