Re: [Aroid-l] Off topic: Lycopodium in arrangements question

Thanks to Alan, Harry, Michael, Reggie, and those who replied off list about 
this.

I'll try some cuttings expecting failure, so I'll be pleasantly surprised by 
any success at all. 

Fortunately, these stems are pretty big, much larger than the temperate 
lycodpodiums which grow wild somewhere here in Arkansas. (I say somewhere 
because I've spent a lot of time tramping around looking at plants in the wild 
here, and I've never seen one.)

Each is about 45 cm. long, and they'd already been clipped both bottom and top,
so I had enough material to try several mediums and several strengths of
rooting hormones.

Harry, I've seen the same thing - cuttings which don't rot but don't root 
either - from some sansevierias. I took several cuttings from the best looking 
of the few I have. Although all 5 cuttings were from the same leaf, 1 rooted 
in a few months, 1 took 2 years, 1 took more than 3 years, and the other 
2 rotted - but only after about 3.5 years.
