Hello I was watering my plants last night and much to my delight I found a few babies coming up. Well, the container already has enough so they're up for trade!! Also, be aware that as they are young, the foliage is not variegated yet, but as the get bigger it will so don't be concerned if your plant isn't variegated. There are about four of them, so they will go quickly. I love houseplants, and I'm looking for cuttings (rooted preferably) of these ones right now. Purple passion vine Named coleus Moon Valley friendship plant (come on, I know somebody has this :-p) Elephant Ears "Black Magic" Teddy bear vine (cyanotis kewensis) Named cymbidium orchids (would REALLY like to get some of these) Mosaic plant/nerve plant (fittonia albivenis) Bloodleaf (iresine herbstii) Persian shield Lollipop plant/shrimp plant (pachystachys lutea) Oxalis (oxalis regnelli) Thank You

houseplants that bloom are VERY happy ... just looking at the stem .... and the history .... makes me think it roots freely ... google this ... i would take a couple 6 inch cuttings... put in a glass of water.. and i would watch it.. and expect.. within days.. to see root nodules forming.. then i would immediately pot into damp media... with the pot in a baggie ... with the top open .. just to raise humidity ... and then in a month or so.. i would return the plant to the guy who killed it... you said: My partner took a cutting of this plant from a friend's houseplant. ==>> yeah dad used to do this in stores.. friends houses.. etc .. lol ... apparently.. to his thinking.. everyone was sharing .. lol ... ken ps: unless of course.. you burned that friendship.. in which case.. you can use the new plant.. to make a new friend ... who maybe has some other plant.. you can borrow a pieces of.. lol ...hope you have a sense of humor....

my first thought on seeing it.. was that it is not in prime condition.. due to lack of light and perhaps other reasons ... perhaps a visit to the houseplant forum will get you up to speed on growing plants indoors ... and the fact that she is rooting new pieces.. that perhaps grandpa wasnt real healthy ... which is all to say.. its colors look faded ... and might be a lot deeper if light was increased ... and what fascinated me most.. was your use of ruby .... never heard that used in garden parlance before ... for a color descriptor ... and its interesting... gold star on that .. ken

Thank you very much (especially naming the Jacaranda.) That one gives me terrible allergies. The last thing I need is to be growing it.
