I CANNOT believe you actually said this: "When was the last time you said anything nice to me????" but since you did, here's a real direct answer. May 7, 2009, (sorry I don't know how to post a link, for the real thing, it's about 2 pages back now, includes pix of my youngster) please see below: "How long does it take to root one of these? Brought to you by clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Thu, May 7, 09 at 19:05 I have had a cutting, or leaf of a ZZ plant sitting in water for over 3 months now. It is alive and well, but no roots..Weird. How long does it take to root, if at all? That leaf looks so healthy still... Thanks.. Follow-Up Postings: RE: How long does it take to root one of these? Brought to you by clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by pirate_girl Zone7 NYC (My Page) on Thu, May 7, 09 at 22:07 Hi Mike, It can take quite some time. I've rooted leaves in mix, that can take around a year. I've recently water rooted a stem, but didn't make note of the date I put it up. I took these pix, 'cause they show the round tuber AND the roots the plant develops. I really don't remember how long it took, but am guessing 9 months maybe, like from last Fall (I think I had accidentally broken the stem off the parent plant). and and So if you can grow some serious patience, you might end up w/ something like this. I think I'll take mine to my local Plant Society to pass around & show this development & then sell it at their plant sale table for a couple of bucks. ----------------------------------------------------------- RE: How long does it take to root one of these?

I rooted some cuttings in water and some leaves in soil but it did take more than 6 months. I now have a lovely little plant about 4" tall. After you plant it in soil the cutting or leaf will eventually die off and a new shoot will emerge. --------------------- RE: How long does it take to root one of these?

That plant is so cute. Sounds like they take as long as a pregnacy for a women, almost 9 months..lol Thanks for sharing. It tells me that my waiting is worth it, and that it just may continue to live. Yes I am encouraged. I didn't want to loose it I will post a pic just as soon as I see a root... Pattirose4, thanks for sharing also. Take care and stay happy!! Thank goodness the spring has arrived..:-) --------------------- RE: How long does it take to root one of these?

I don't feel guilty at all for blocking the ads. A few years ago when this site underwent new management, the ads were horrendous. Flashing things everywhere, huge, screen sized pop ups every time you changed pages, moving banners and so on that made it just about impossible to use. This new management clearly didn't care about the people who were trying to use the site, just about making money off the ads, which is to say off of us, since you can't sell ads for sites without any traffic. GW really changed after that as most of the old-timers left and traffic has never been as busy since.

If its a wood stool, just get the legs cut down. Find a handyman or neighbor to do it. NBD.

I'm right there with you. I picked up a "Happy Easter" sign at the dollar store and a few other little things because I couldn't get to my easter decorations. My husband thought I was nuts. We are basically living in one room on our main floor but I just stuck the sign up next to one of the plastic sheets covering my doorway and put my "welcome" bunny in the unfinished (waaaay unfinished) kitchen window - I envy you your shelves and your nice decorations. How nice of you to try and make it welcoming to your guest. It's just a little something to remind myself that even though I'm living among layers of dust, it's still a holiday! I also count the "dust bunnies" as decorations too! I just went to a neighbor's house to boil eggs so we can dye them later. My husband just shakes his head but if I don't do it I know my kids won't remember all the times we colored eggs and had an egg hunt, they'll remember the ONE year we didn't! this wallpaper is getting changed too! Behind curtain #1... "Welcome"... to my mess (inside and out)
