NEW: The Joys of House Plants Cutting Exchange

indyjoy
18 years ago

I was just in a houseplant exchange that was so much fun I want to host one myself.

Is anyone interested? Mail date of Oct. 10th. Start taking cuttings and getting them rooted now. It is not "necessary" that the cuttings be rooted but nice if you can do it.

Plan to send cutting from at least three different houseplants and a "fall non-plant surprise".

Post here with your possible cuttings to send and your wish list. I'll match people up as best I can.

Happy Gardening,

Joy

    Please count me in too... This sounds like so much fun.
    I have african violet leaves (named), streptocarpus leaves (named), a few Episcia stolens (named), cactus-optunia, mother of thousands babies, Hoya Publicalyx, Hoya Silverpink vine, Hoya Phillipine black, (Hoyas/unrooted). I could put them in water now, but can't promise roots in a week or so. I can also include a small cutting of a rare "Tapestry" vine, gorgeous unique colors (I'll begin rooting it tomorrow).
    I'm looking for... african violets/plantlets/leaves (or plants), variegated monstera/plain monstera (swiss cheese plant). I've been looking for a cutting of the variegated monstera for so many years, it would be wonderful to even receive a small cutting. ;)

    I'm sorry but buying and selling is not permitted on GW.

    I suggest you update your GW email address as most folks email from a member's page, and might not notice your address is different within a post.

    Please let this thread drop as it is five years old. Thank you
