As for your cuttings I root most of my aroids with AA/or AAA New Zealand spagmoss.  With a high percentage of success.  Sprinkle on Cinnamon if you are getting rot or sprinkle on Sulfer plant fungicide by bonide.

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
