Comments (2)Lindamarie, I took a look at your list and I don't have anything that you are looking for. I used to have a ton of aquarium plants but recently got out of that. Sorry...See MoreVarigated Hindu Rope Mystery
Comments (24)Locally here there is a garden and pet center that is locally owned with 2 locations. The one has great plants, the other serves up a free side of mealies with every purchase... Anyways, the nice store gets both types of carnosa "compacta" from time to time. Well established, nice sized hanging pots run about $25 (think EA boxstore hoyas for size) and smaller 4" pots with one or 2 stems for $4.99. I bought a small solid green last year to see how it grows for me (I am fickle about which variegated things I enjoy, and this is one where I much prefer the solid green) I would just keep looking, or maybe take Monica up on her offer to help. Maybe there are some random feed stores, hardware, or garden centers that carry plants you are unaware of? Sometimes you find the nicest plants in the oddest locations....See MoreMonstera obliqua yellowing leaves
Comments (12)I'm near Darwin so mine are outside growing up through trees. They look really nice when you have multiple vines with a thick mass of leaves. So yes, putting more cuttings in the pot is a good idea. But they might want more light than the one in your photo gets. Saw a M. kessleri the other day in a nursery but it looked suspiciously too much like Raphidophora tetrasperma so didn't buy it. This nursery often gets IDs wrong. There's a few photos of some of mine onthis thread....See MoreMonstera :: Can I Prune/Thin Up/Transplant?
Comments (3)They root and put out new growth shoots from the leaf nodes, where the leaf petiole joins the stem. So if you take the plant out of the port, wash all the soil off you'll be able to see all the roots and shoots. Cutting between the leaf nodes along the stem you can isolate each shoot and get new plants, up to you how many you want. The thing is you open the stem to all sorts of fungus/bacteria/etc., so you need to keep it all clean/sterile. When long sections of stem are used the plant usually recovers before any pathogens can work their way in too far. With shorter sections it becomes riskier. So sterilise your cutting instrument and an antifungal on the cut will protect it until the plant section gets growing again....See MorePlanTing!
