Logees order - Buddha's hand and drosera
Laura LaRosa (7b)

I received the little guys today! All looked well and healthy. I am going to repot them in the coming days. Both buddhas hand trees are rooted cuttings and it appears that I got two variegated in the container. It appears to me to have two small trees - one actually has a bud although I know it will not grow the fruit. When I repot, I will separate them very carefully. As for the fly-eating plant...I got distilled water and am collecting some rain for it tonight. I hope it enjoys its new home and eats lots of fungus gnats ;-)

Time to show off our Adenium pictures!!!!
Comments (159)Hello Yovan, best to start a new thread if you want to ask specific questions regarding your plants, that way, you will get more attention and answers than you will by tagging it onto a thread with another subject line. Plus this thread is old as I started it when the forum had just begun. It now has many posts so takes an age to load on some devices. Just go to the main Adenium page and commence a new thread with an appropriate title that catches people's eye and you will get some replies....have a go! :-) also, please add some location info after your name, that will help give better advise as we then have an idea of your climate/conditions.

Comments (20)Toni, Thai cooking is something like Chinese and something like Indian, but really something all to itself, spicy and very fresh with lots of citrus notes (think lemon grass). Kaffir leaves are an essential part of Thai cuisine. The leaves are used whole in soups and sliced very thin (like a super fine julienne) for other dishes. Below is a recipe I got off the the Net that is easy and very tasty. By the way, my five new trees arrived today. The Australian finger lime is quite large, which is to be expected for a two-three year old. It has some flowers on it but no fruit, which is fine by me. From its appearance I get the feeling it grows like a weed. The kumquat is the smallest tree, but it has a small fruit on it. Will see if it stays on or falls off. I will take some pics within the next couple of days and post them here. Beef Panang - Panang Nua 2 Servings 2 tablespoons sugar 4 kaffir lime leaves, thinly sliced (a leaf is one leaflet off of a mature compound leaf) 2 tablespoons fish sauce 1 1/2 tablespoons red curry paste 1 cup coconut milk 1 lb. beef, sliced (flank steak, top round, etc.) Pour 1/2 of the coconut milk in a pan over medium heat. Add curry paste and break it up to mix it with coconut milk. Keep stiring to prevent bottom from sticking. Lower the heat to simmer if necessary. Simmer until red oil appears. Add the beef and stir to coat the beef with the curry paste. Add sugar, fish sauce and the rest of coconut milk. Let it simmer until the beef is tender and the liquid is reduced to a thick sauce. It should take about half an hour to an hour depending on your heat. Add water if your beef is still tough and let the liquid reduce. Sprinkle the sliced kaffir lime leaves on top. Serve hot over rice. narcnh...See MoreHello
Comments (7)How much does a grow light system cost? What I've listed are they only fruiting plants I'm growing (Although I do have a few cacti that should produce edible fruit, (Opuntia sp., Myrtillocactus geometrizans, Pereskiopsis sp.)). The seeds I've tried (and failed) growing are: Phyllanthus emblica, Pouteria campechiana, Adansonia digitata, Saurauia madrensis, Parmentiera edulis, Quararibea funebris, Passiflora maliformis, Chrysophyllum cainito, Annona squamosa, Myrciaria cauliflora, Selenicereus megalanthus, Fuchsia splendens, Morinda citrifolia, Dimocarpus longan, Eugenia stipitata, and Rollinia mucosa. Yeah, lots of screw ups. I never expected everything to grow, and I suppose one still might (they're all in pots in zip lock bags to keep in moisture) but they've been there for over six months, (except the last three; they're from last year) so I'm doubtful that they'll germinate. Sometime next year I might shell out the extra cash for an established plant of some sort, since seeds haven't been working out too well. I considered getting a Buddha's Hand and a Miracle Berry from Logee's, but ended up not. Do you happen to know what the best place to get grafted/air-layered plants would be, preferably ones on the cheaper end, or at least a good seed supplier? Thanks for the reply....See MoreSpring citrus orders- what are we on the hunt for this season??
Comments (96)Thank you for sharing, Steve! One week for citrus seed to germinate is pretty amazing. I had a few citrus seeds germinate in just under two weeks. Vladimir, Thank you. I was under the impression, after doing some previous research, that kumquats come true from seed since they are polyembryonic. I also read somewhere on the net that a polyembryonic variety will produce at least one plant identical genetically to the mother plant. After reading your post, I did a bit more research and found conflicting reviews and advice. I wonder if I have a chance that maybe at least one seedling will be like the mother plant, depending on the number that germinate. I guess kumquats do tend to do poorly on their own roots? Steve?? You have grown a lot of kumquats from seed. Can you refer me to one of your previous posts about how they did for you on their own roots. I think I remember that you had numerous Kumquat fatalities? Has anyone had success with growing a Nagami Kumquat from seed and that it was exactly like the mother plant? Did the fruit taste identical to a Kumquat? I guess it will be a fun and interesting project to learn from. I do still have a unknown citrus seedling that sprouted up from my compost pile in my potted banana plant....See MoreLaura LaRosa (7b)
