05/25/05 20:06:37 Cheryl-TX: when the appearance of the plant leaves change because of a break in culture,

05/25/05 20:17:40 Becca,IN Logs Out
05/25/05 20:17:59 Jana_in_Indiana: so we should pray to the AV Gods?
05/25/05 20:18:13 Cheryl-TX: you can really get into trouble around show time when you make changes even if they some to be for the better
05/25/05 20:18:17 Jana_in_Indiana: can a change in fert. cause a culture break?
05/25/05 20:18:27 Cheryl-TX: sure can
05/25/05 20:18:49 Jana_in_Indiana: so following the grow to show schedule can cause it?
05/25/05 20:19:29 Cheryl-TX: say you water with a little epsom salts to green up the aging outer leaves, the older leaves get green, but the newer ones get even greener
05/25/05 20:20:21 Jana_in_Indiana: oh, that would be bad!
05/25/05 20:20:32 Cheryl-TX: sometimes it can, but normally about 6months out you repot and tear back
05/25/05 20:21:06 Cheryl-TX: and since you know you are going to show you try to really give the plant consitant attention
05/25/05 20:21:25 Jana_in_Indiana: if you make tiny, slow adjustments to the ferts, will that prevent it
05/25/05 20:21:34 Tony_IL: tear back meaning remove older leaves
05/25/05 20:21:51 Tony_IL: ??
05/25/05 20:21:55 Cheryl-TX: i am breaking my show plants back now for the state show the first of november
05/25/05 20:22:07 Jana_in_Indiana: breaking????
05/25/05 20:22:43 Cheryl-TX: taking off the outer leaves, down to the 3 most inner rows

05/25/05 20:29:33 Jana_in_Indiana: ;)
05/25/05 20:29:34 Cheryl-TX: not very very variegated, infact that is why i took off so many leaves, the ones on the out side had no variegation
05/25/05 20:30:03 Jana_in_Indiana: but that can be due to your temps there in TX, right?
05/25/05 20:30:54 Cheryl-TX: well yes, but also some plants dont get too much variegation until they are mature
05/25/05 20:31:24 Cheryl-TX: the outer leaves were older and had no variegation
05/25/05 20:31:28 Jana_in_Indiana: but with all those leaves you took off, isn't it already mature?

05/25/05 20:47:57 Jana_in_Indiana: Cheryl, can you take photos & post of the ones you took back or broke down, whatever you call it so we can see how far & what's left?
05/25/05 20:47:59 Cheryl-TX: i wanted to tell you i put some keki grow on some strep leaves i just put down, am going to see what happens
05/25/05 20:48:52 Jana_in_Indiana: I thought keiki grow only works on apical nodes, I don't think a leaf has them
05/25/05 20:50:10 Jana_in_Indiana: or are you just using it as a rooting hormone?
05/25/05 20:50:10 Cheryl-TX: well i am trying it on my strep leavs, the bloom comes from the base of the leaf on a strep
05/25/05 20:51:03 Jana_in_Indiana: doesn't the bloom also come from the base of a leaf periole on AV's?
05/25/05 20:51:06 Tony_IL: just hanging out here
05/25/05 20:51:31 Jana_in_Indiana: petiole*

05/25/05 20:53:09 Jana_in_Indiana: Oh my goodness!  That is a lot of streps!  You must love them!
05/25/05 20:53:38 Cheryl-TX: they are more forgiving than violets
05/25/05 20:54:06 Jana_in_Indiana: good!  So the leaves you sent me last fall forgive me for killing them?

05/25/05 21:00:06 Shellie_NM: Streptocarpus Georgetta
05/25/05 21:00:14 Cheryl-TX: they are very nice, i like them too, butmost of mine are not variegated
05/25/05 21:01:39 Shellie_NM: I recently got rid of most of my greens, I only have 4 left
05/25/05 21:02:02 Cheryl-TX: i have a hard time getting rid of any of mine
05/25/05 21:02:13 Cheryl-TX: just keep adding more shelves
05/25/05 21:02:27 Shellie_NM: I have 70 Variegated varieties
05/25/05 21:03:06 Cheryl-TX: that is a lot
05/25/05 21:03:10 Shellie_NM: about 1/2 are leaves that I am rooting
05/25/05 21:03:35 Tony_IL: do you both use matting in trays?
05/25/05 21:03:41 Shellie_NM: no
05/25/05 21:03:49 Cheryl-TX: that is exciting, how long till you get babies
05/25/05 21:04:18 Shellie_NM: minimum 2 months til mouse ears
05/25/05 21:04:40 Shellie_NM: sometimes longer
05/25/05 21:04:58 Cheryl-TX: well that is something to look forward to
05/25/05 21:04:58 Tony_IL: Shellie, you water 70+ plants by hand individually each week?
05/25/05 21:05:14 Shellie_NM: no I wick everything
05/25/05 21:05:35 Tony_IL: each inits own reservoir?
05/25/05 21:05:42 Tony_IL: in its
05/25/05 21:05:48 Cheryl-TX: me too, you wick everything too , right?
05/25/05 21:06:16 Shellie_NM: some are on individual reservoirs and some are over reservoir trays on egg crate
05/25/05 21:07:29 Shellie_NM: my juveniles that are still in solo cups are on the egg crate
05/25/05 21:08:43 Cheryl-TX: I got some little mini trays at biblots, a small tray and a cover about 5x7
05/25/05 21:08:56 Cheryl-TX: that should be big lots
05/25/05 21:09:11 Shellie_NM: my leaves are in domed trays which I check every couple of weeks and add a few drops of water as needed
05/25/05 21:09:15 Tony_IL: just on the crate, no matting on the tope of the crate, right, Shellie
05/25/05 21:09:35 Shellie_NM: right, wicks hanging down into the water
05/25/05 21:10:49 Cheryl-TX: I am wicking these small trays
05/25/05 21:11:10 Shellie_NM: I used to use matting but when I went away for 2 weeks I switched because the matting drys in 3-4 days
05/25/05 21:12:12 Tony_IL: some have used the matting on top of the crates with the ends of the mat under the crates to make water contact
05/25/05 21:12:53 Shellie_NM: I have heard of that - Jana swears by it - I haven't tried it
05/25/05 21:13:19 Cheryl-TX: del does that i think
05/25/05 21:13:38 Tony_IL: would eliminate the need for each wick to be in the water
05/25/05 21:15:07 Shellie_NM: but you can't see you water level that way
05/25/05 21:15:36 Tony_IL: that's a fact
05/25/05 21:16:34 Shellie_NM: that's the same reason that I use see thru reservoirs for my individual reservoirs
05/25/05 21:16:36 Cheryl-TX: well you can cut a small patch out at the edge
05/25/05 21:16:41 Tony_IL: gonna stop for now and let you gals out west continue. See you tomorrow nite
