Does the center look normal, Gonzer? Not damaged in any way? I dunno. In my experience the pups on fosteriana and its hybrids often come in sets of three, usually all on one side of the plant. You might get more if the central growing point got put out of business, but 7 at once is pretty unusual.

First I'll say I'm a novice at growing gesneriads. I don't have this sinningia, but most all my sinningias were growing like your pictures. A friend came to visit and i was showing her and she told me they needed to be closer to the light. It was too late for some...I will wait until they go dormant and then when they start to resprout I will move them much closer to the bulbs and lower them some as they grow. I had some smaller sinningias and also some mini sinningias that I started the tuber close to the light and it has made a big difference in the growth..stem is stalker and the leaves are closer together. I still have a lot to learn, but maybe this info can help you with yours. tish

great suggestion! I will look into this. I am leaning towards the small ficus option, but this terrarium seems to be constantly evolving. i recently added some cryptanthus to it. We will see how this goes. I love experimenting with it all. I have also found to my dismay that many of the mosses I have are temperate and therefore require a cold cycle which I cannot supply. I fear my maple is doomed to a similar fate. oh well. I am loking into some tropical mosses more suited to the enviornment. So far many of the plants have been collected from my trips and explorations (in mostly temperate climates). I think that I will have to focus on tropical plants. I have noticed that there seem to be many many types of ficus trees available at glass house works. does anyone know which ones could be suitable for my uses? (small leaves...) Zach

Most jury summons come from mailing list 10-20 years old. There is no way to prove you received it, thus no way to do anything to you for not showing up. I have a friend that is in charge of it here. I get them in my names from previous marriages so I write "no such person" and mail them back. Heck fire, I divorced that idiot 12 years ago! Send them a change of address form with the cemetary address listed! I'm surprised it made it to you, usually the po will only forward stuff for a year. Tally HO!
