Hey, just noticed this! I see you over in the Hoya forum all the time. I have AV plantlets that need homes. I will double check what I still have. What hoya cuttings were you thinking of trading? I went overboard with propagating AVs, and while I did manage to trade a lot of them away (mainly for hoyas, funny enough... that was what started my hoya madness) I still have a bunch. Let me know what cuttings you have, and I will list the plantlets I still have, in the next day or so. Thanks!

greendesert I'm in the process of rooting Pomegranate, Fig and Mulberry cuttings right now. I have every variety you mentioned and more. Most are cynosure varieties that are the cream of the crop not often found in nurseries. My supply is limited and I have offered rooted cuttings to two other people before you. Once they have all rooted I will be keeping one of each and giving cuttings to the two other people. In 2-3 weeks when they are all rooted I should have a pretty good idea of what I have left. After that you are next in line if you want them. All I ask is that you return the pots and replace the soil and we're all good. Keep in mind I live in far East Mesa though and when they are ready you would have to come and get them.

ha ha Jan I just emailed you about Krimson Queen!!! lol Do you guys want me to do any trade transporting? I am meeting Jan at lunch Thursday and also going to Ricky's so i can take Helen,s. Here's my lil Krimson Queen! The pink edges don't come thru in the photos. Either of you want some of this one. I am sure it's pretty common. It seems so much happier out under the pool screen than in my bedroom window. I got this 1/3 this size a couple yrs ago from Lindaleaf. BTW Helen, You want some cuttings of that coral crown behind the Krimson Queen? It's getting kind of tall and I might as well start a few cuttings of it for Ricky's.

I'm just south of you, about an hour and ten down the parkway or the turnpike...I have seen linearis at Home Depots in Burlington, Moorestown, Manahawkin and I think Toms River - though not positive about Toms River. You know, most of the people I know that have killed this one think it was due to overwatering...I have had no problems with mine, and I treat it as I do all my plants, hoyas and otherwise..water when dry. Nothing gets a drop until it dries out, meaning like 80 or 90% dry!! Now this doesn't mean my plants sit there bone dry for a week until I notice they need water...I check them pretty much every day, so I water AS SOON as the plant dries out. I have noticed that as soon as it reaches that "dry" point, the needles on linearis droop a teeny bit right away. I have treated it this way since I got it, and haven't lost a leaf or stem or had any problems whatsoever. So I don't care what anyone says about a plant liking it wet, mine only get water when they are newly dry, a few hours dry won't kill them - but it is so difficult to figure out how wet is too wet and what is going on down below where the roots are, so I think you are better off letting a plant go a bit dry than trying to achieve that perfect "wet" balance! And if you are vigilant, it won't be dry long enough to do any real damage or harm to the root system. I just sent cuttings out, but if you don't find one, ask me in the spring and I'd be happy to send you some.
