What are those gorgeous acid green leaves: Waiter, another Margarita, please....

» Sonni - Waiter, another Margarita, please....

Thanks for the great welcome back. It made me feel great. I miss watching everyone's great excitement and enthusiasm.I think it's the special fertilizer that makes your gardens grow! (Man those pictures of all your gardens are amazing)

Lady B - are you sure you didn't have some Findhorn fairies at that dining table where you put the cuttings? Three days! Unbelievable. I think the drying out of soil was my problem.My apartment gets very dry in winter -- even with a large aquatic turtle tank and 45 gallon fish tank right in my living room. The water in those tanks evaporate like crazy -- so this year I'm going to run the humidifier while I'm at home.

I'm going to see if I can get down to that garden before it all goes away and see if the Ipomea's are still growing and try to get some more cuttings.You've encouraged me to try again.

Has anyone tried adding gelatin water to their cuttings? I know gelatin is supposed to be a plant booster -- I was wondering if a weak solution would help strengthen the plant itself - even though the roots grow so quickly. Think I'll give it a try.

Talk about cuttings -- a man sells small bouquets of exotic Hawaiin flowers and leaves in the street where I work. I noticed that the green and pink leaf stalks grew roots within a week and a half of being in the vase -- so it's now growing very nicely in my apartment. I guess these plants adapt well to low light. I just bought another bouquet -- 'cause now I know I'll have pretty giner/bird of paradise and then.... a new exotic plant! It's probably possible to root the ginger's and/or others as well -- maybe the gelatin here?

Well, one must do something in the winter....

Thanks for being here you suite folks.

Regards, Sonni
