Re: Anyone on here ? Rhaphidophora

Friends:

I agree with the comments made about the decline of folks conversing in text in plant groups - I do know of a notable exception, which is a group of gesneriad growers, which have quite robust conversations.

I don't have an answer to Jude's question - although the recommendations that other folks have made seem quite sensible.  

Finally, I'd encourage folks who are still reading the e-mail on this list as to do as much as possible to engage in conversation.  I've posted a few questions, and I always get helpful responses - even if there's a not of people responding.  For example, I had purchased a big-leafed anthurium at the IAS show in February, and after I potted it at home, all of the leafs died.  I asked whether I should just throw out the stem and roots - and a few folks suggested that I hold on and water very lightly.  Sure enough - several months later - it's now sprouting two tiny new leafs.  The resilience of some plants is amazing!

Good growing all!

I didn't see that Julius died!  I am so sad, when did this happen?  He was a wonderful person.

Hi guys!
Thanks for coming out of the woodwork! I had no idea about Julius' death - that's a hole that won't be filled. Is Dr. Croat still around?
Zach - Yes, I fell out of the loop when I created, built, and ran a nature based preschool with my own tropical jungle and nature center as part of it - I'm getting back into the loop of the whole plant thing. Look forward to getting all caught up with the goings-on!

Thank you for the advice about my cuttings. If I do start seeing some rot, what can be done to salvage the cutting?

Best to all,
Jude

Dear Silent Seed,

There are still a few of us. Maybe many. But postings have declined since Julius's death. No one will be able to replace that guy.

How many people are actually still on here?
(That's a honest question.)

What's the best way to root Rhaphidophora decursiva cuttings? I have them tightly wrapped in sphagnum moss at the moment, but don't want them to rot.

Thanks
