I removed mine from the pot they came in when they were about the size of yours but they weren't tangled in close to the plant. One of them is about 10" across and the baby is about 6" across. But on re-looking at your photo I am thinking it may also be a polypody species. Email me a closer photo. Tiny baby fern leaves can look different than the grown up ones. If it is a polypody (that's the family that also includes what are commonly known as rabbit foot ferns) it will be fairly happy with an orchid culture. They come from a drier environment than maidenhairs. I have 4 polypodys and I soak them about once a week. If yours is a polypody when it gets a little older it will grow these cute fuzzy feet on the surface of the soil. That's where new leaves will grow from.

In my experience Corsican mint needs much less water than baby's tears and can actually tolerate fun sun. I think in the appropriate conditions (lots of shade and water) baby's tears will tend to dominate Corsican mint. I find Coriscan mint a bit more unreliable however. It doesn't seem to form a nice solid ground-cover, but instead wanders here and there, setting up shop on a whim. It is so deliciously fragrant, however; perhaps the most intense mint of any plant. -Brett

Wow! I would LOVE to have all these mints, how awesome would that be!!!?? Unfortunately I only have two, and I have no idea what the first is, We've just called it mint - so maybe it's peppermint. It has bumpy leaves. I also have some chocolate mint, that seems to be doing ok, but seeing as you're a mint guru of sorts (with so much experience with mint, maybe I can ask you something mint related? When I planted my chocolate mint, it was purply in color. Now, it SEEMS to be thriving, but when I take a closer look, it seems that only a few sprouts are purply in color. The other HUGE bunch that came up right next to it has very little to NO purple left in it.. not sure if its' in my head, but it seems to smell a little different to. Do you think some other mint grew there? or are there weeds that grow near mint to disguise themselves? Or maybe my soil isn't giving it what it needs to maintain its purply color?? Thanks for any help! Sorry I couldn't offer anything new to your mint collection! :)

http://www.stepables.com/store/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=78 found this one time and was interested in it myself- don't know if they sell it right now though, probebly in the spring would be better. I have noticed my local nurseries have been getting a lot of the steppables in thier supplies come spring lately and it is very popular. Good luck! Tami
