This is a slightly different situation than yours. I bought a 1 gallon plant (about $10) at a nursery in Santa Cruz (the date on the photo says Feb. 18th). The plant forms bulbils/offsets where the petiole meets the leaf blade. I removed a few of them, as shown in the photo. I potted up all of the little guys, and decided to put the seven smallest ones inside a ziploc bag. I assumed the larger ones could make it on their own. Those small ones are the ones that survived, and they have grown noticeably. The larger ones ended up dessicated, and either died from that, or from neglect since I assumed they were dead The big plant has been outside the whole time and is doing fine. Am I sending you a Zantedeschia? If so, I can add one of the little guys if you ended up losing yours. I bought one of these a few years ago at a florist with a nice fertile frond. See link at bottom. Here is a link that might be useful: Earlier post on Hemionitis arifolia

Taxonomists at work. Dendrobium tetragonum Dendrobium tetragonum var.giganteum Changed to Den. capitisyork Dendrobium tetragonum var. hayesianum Changed to Den. cacatua I have the first growing on the same chunk of hardwood for 15 years next to Den. kingianums. Suspect the other two former varieties need slightly warmer, moister conditions for optimum growth and flowering.

The presentation was quite excellent. I learned that vermiculite works well for rooting cuttings and that some, if not all, Sinningias can be grown from leaf cuttings. They really are amazing orchids...but the average highest bid was $3! Yikes! On one hand, I'm losing my shirt...but on the other hand I'm sharing some really great orchids with other plant enthusiasts.

I know that this is late, but I made a way to lower mine into a wheelbarrow (actually it's more ON the wheelbarrow as it won't fit into it) for hurricanes. I almost lost my big staghorn to Charlie...It got nearly beaten to death and all new growth stopped for almost 2 years. I use the same chain method (no pipe through, just criss crossed stainless 2" links) but at the top, I have a tow strap that I threw over a MUCH higher branch and tied off on a lower one. It takes my husband to pull and me to get under the thing and push to take it higher into the tree, or him holding and me getting smushed under it to lower it. On the other hand, it hasn't gotten beaten up by any more high winds!
