05/12/05 20:48:07 Jana_in_Indiana: Cheryl, can you explain how you wrap the rootball in a moss blanket?
05/12/05 20:48:10 Carol_SK: D el our nurseries here are really quite pathetic... I am not holding out a lot of hope here
05/12/05 20:48:23 Cheryl-TX: they self pollenate very easily,
05/12/05 20:48:31 Carol_SK: and where do you get the moss blanket?
05/12/05 20:48:41 del: very easy to do crosses on streps
05/12/05 20:48:47 Jana_in_Indiana: & exactly what is a moss blanket Cheryl?
05/12/05 20:48:51 Cheryl-TX: it is Sphagnum Moss
05/12/05 20:49:21 del: the long stringy moss right Cheryl
05/12/05 20:49:36 Jana_in_Indiana: so, you have a rootball with soil on the roots, then wrap it in moss & then put in pot & add more soil???
05/12/05 20:49:42 Carol_SK: kind of looks like interesting grass, sort of
05/12/05 20:50:01 Jana_in_Indiana: I'm so confused!
05/12/05 20:50:03 Cheryl-TX: you fix the pot just like for a violet, wick, perlite/vermiculum and soil then dig a little hole or cast a hole with a pot and then wrap the moss around the root ball
05/12/05 20:50:36 Jana_in_Indiana: ok, is there soil on the roots or only moss?
05/12/05 20:51:00 Cheryl-TX: the place where the leaves and the roots join will be a little out of the pot, this keeps them from rotting
05/12/05 20:51:31 Clare_KS: Do you wick them or how do you water?
05/12/05 20:51:35 Cheryl-TX: well there is soil and moss if  you are transplanting
05/12/05 20:52:04 Jana_in_Indiana: which one is in direct contact with the roots Charyl?
05/12/05 20:52:13 Cheryl-TX: I wick, but planted this way you can keep them sitting in a dish of water
05/12/05 20:52:20 Jana_in_Indiana: sorry, Cheryl!
05/12/05 20:52:39 Cheryl-TX: planted this way it is almost impossible to over water

05/12/05 21:01:09 Cheryl-TX: i usually dont bag or dome, unless the plant is under great stress
05/12/05 21:01:29 Jana_in_Indiana: oh!  That's where I went wrong!
05/12/05 21:02:32 Carol_SK: Cheryl those picts show it very well

05/12/05 21:06:25 Cheryl-TX: well it is like starting in water
05/12/05 21:06:54 Cheryl-TX: yes i think that must be it, moist yet good air circulation
05/12/05 21:07:25 Jana_in_Indiana: does the leaf cutting produce lots of babies or only 1?
05/12/05 21:07:29 Carol_SK: I have been trying to propagate a strep leaf for some time now and it is not doing very well
05/12/05 21:07:58 Cheryl-TX: what i really like abou tthem is tha t they are so forgiving, if a leaf gets marred or spotted you can jus ttrim it off
05/12/05 21:08:16 Jana_in_Indiana: try that wiht an AV!  LOL
05/12/05 21:08:38 Cheryl-TX: well don t give up on it, some times the mother leaf almost dies  before babies appear

05/12/05 21:12:36 Cheryl-TX: hi jim
05/12/05 21:12:39 Shellie_NM: Brydmama gave me two leaves of strep Georgetta.  She told me that you propogate from the leaf vein.
05/12/05 21:12:57 jim_in_nd: no
05/12/05 21:13:02 Jana_in_Indiana: talking about streps tonight Jim, I'm fine
05/12/05 21:13:12 jim_in_nd: cut it into secections
05/12/05 21:13:13 Carol_SK: I cut mine straight across, if I were doing it again, I would cut it in a V
05/12/05 21:13:35 jim_in_nd: if you try the vein, its tough
05/12/05 21:14:22 jim_in_nd: if i had known it was strep id would have been here sooner
05/12/05 21:14:34 Shellie_NM: Cut most the leaf away from the vein leaving only a 1/4 inch of the leaf.  Then cut the vein in 1 1/2 inch strips, and lay the pieces on the soil in a shallow trench
05/12/05 21:14:58 jim_in_nd: they rot real esay that way
05/12/05 21:14:59 Shellie_NM: I tried it and got ten plants from two leaves
05/12/05 21:15:10 Carol_SK: neat Shellie
05/12/05 21:15:13 Cheryl-TX: that is right Jim, vein is hard, and you really get to many if it works
05/12/05 21:15:15 Jana_in_Indiana: how big were the leaves?
05/12/05 21:15:46 jim_in_nd: if you cut the leaves in 2 to 3 inch sections
05/12/05 21:15:58 jim_in_nd: you can get lots of babys that way
05/12/05 21:16:13 jim_in_nd: ive had a section give me 6 babies
05/12/05 21:16:21 Carol_SK: how long before you usually see babies?
05/12/05 21:16:22 jim_in_nd: and ive had them give me one
05/12/05 21:16:35 jim_in_nd: 6 weeks or so
05/12/05 21:16:43 Cheryl-TX: i just pull out the old shabby leaves now and stick the tip in perlite and vermic, and sometimes i am lu cky and a little root comes out too
05/12/05 21:16:47 jim_in_nd: mostly 2 months
05/12/05 21:17:18 Shellie_NM: My leaves were a good 8 inches, I got 3 cuttings from each leaf where the veins were the thickest
05/12/05 21:17:31 Jana_in_Indiana: thanks!
05/12/05 21:18:32 Carol_SK: I think I am doing something wrong... mine are just not rooting, but they are not dead yet either
05/12/05 21:18:47 jim_in_nd: ive got a leaf doing somethiong weird
05/12/05 21:18:57 jim_in_nd: some can take a while

05/12/05 21:19:57 jim_in_nd: it rooted but never gave me babies
05/12/05 21:20:08 Jana_in_Indiana: that's rude!
05/12/05 21:20:13 jim_in_nd: anyway my leaf is putting out
05/12/05 21:20:15 Carol_SK: maybe this one is just not feeling maternal
05/12/05 21:20:15 Cheryl-TX: some take longer then others
05/12/05 21:20:25 jim_in_nd: buds
05/12/05 21:20:31 jim_in_nd: 4 now
05/12/05 21:20:36 jim_in_nd: and ive cut them
05/12/05 21:20:40 Carol_SK: buds on a leaf?  that is neat
05/12/05 21:20:56 jim_in_nd: and on the last one ive a baby where the flower should be
05/12/05 21:21:11 jim_in_nd: and this other one

05/12/05 21:21:46 jim_in_nd: ive got a baby growing from the cut
05/12/05 21:21:55 Jana_in_Indiana: ok, now I'm REALLY confused!  Buds on a leaf?  Baby where the flower belongs?

05/12/05 21:24:28 Jana_in_Indiana: Cheryl, have yours done that?
05/12/05 21:25:12 Cheryl-TX: well i guess if i am understanding right
05/12/05 21:25:51 Cheryl-TX: after the blooms fade a new leaf will grow at that joint
05/12/05 21:26:08 Jana_in_Indiana: don't worry about it Carol, you don't really need a dining room table or even the sofa!  LOL
05/12/05 21:26:26 Carol_SK: lol Jana that is REALLY good to hear

05/12/05 21:27:03 jim_in_nd: the pics on the way
05/12/05 21:27:10 Carol_SK: so Cheryl does it start a new plant there, or just send up a leaf?
05/12/05 21:27:11 Jana_in_Indiana: thanks Jim!
05/12/05 21:27:41 Cheryl-TX: it is a new plant
05/12/05 21:27:57 Carol_SK: oh, my, how do you separate them all?
05/12/05 21:28:05 Cheryl-TX: after they fill the pot you have to separate them

05/12/05 22:05:50 violetbecca: at first i  didn't think any one liked me
05/12/05 22:05:52 Jana_in_Indiana: ;)

05/12/05 22:06:22 Jana_in_Indiana: the ;) was for Carol, nnot Becca!
05/12/05 22:06:35 Carol_SK: Oh, Becca they are just all wrapped up in their own little AV world, you have to tap us on the shoulder to get out attention
05/12/05 22:06:49 sherry__(Mo): Becca, don't ever feel that way!!
05/12/05 22:07:07 violetbecca: Ok I have one question has any one tried putting manuer in the mix?

05/12/05 22:08:06 violetbecca: well my mom has a hole pile of it and it's stought
05/12/05 22:08:27 Jana_in_Indiana: yes, must be processed under pressure & heat to kill the bad stiff, nematodes, viruses, bacteria, molds, bugs, etc
05/12/05 22:08:35 sherry__(Mo): I still haven't tried the chicken poop you sent Jana, but getting ready to mix up a new batch so will be adding it this go round!!

05/12/05 22:09:41 Jana_in_Indiana: I start my leaves in it, exactly as it is mixed from Pat's recipe
05/12/05 22:09:45 Carol_SK: Becca if it is 'raw' you might want to compost it and use it on the garden outdoors
05/12/05 22:09:48 sherry__(Mo): Darn-sorry I missed it. I think Brittney has about a dozen streps now
05/12/05 22:10:04 Jana_in_Indiana: I learned too, I killed the only strep leaves I had last fall
05/12/05 22:10:16 violetbecca: yeah i plant out tommato plants in it and they do awsome
05/12/05 22:10:22 violetbecca: oops our
05/12/05 22:10:33 Carol_SK: I must confess my streps are not happy campers yet
05/12/05 22:10:41 Jana_in_Indiana: oh, Becca, I added bunches of horse manure, very dried & old, to my rose flower beds & they loved it!  Still do!
05/12/05 22:10:54 sherry__(Mo): LOL-I killed the first streps I had but so far these are still a,live-wa nt me to send some leaves Jana?
05/12/05 22:11:18 Jana_in_Indiana: no thanks Sherry, I still need to get rid of all my greenies!
05/12/05 22:11:18 violetbecca: I never thought about putting it on my rose bushes i thought the nitrogen would be to high
05/12/05 22:11:33 Jana_in_Indiana: is it old & very dry?
05/12/05 22:11:44 sherry__(Mo): Just let me know when Jana---if I can keep these alive, that is
05/12/05 22:11:50 violetbecca: some of it some of it is wet because of rain
05/12/05 22:11:51 Jana_in_Indiana: ;)
05/12/05 22:11:56 Carol_SK: Sherry do you have a lot of streps?
05/12/05 22:12:10 Jana_in_Indiana: but how old is it Becca?  Like over a year?
05/12/05 22:12:17 violetbecca: yeah or more
05/12/05 22:12:33 sherry__(Mo): My 5 year old granddaughter is the one that clainms them-we have about a dozen
05/12/05 22:12:55 Jana_in_Indiana: then it will be fine on the roses, just spread it about 2 inches deep, then turn the soil over to mix it -- about 4 to 6 inches deep
05/12/05 22:13:05 Carol_SK: that's cute, good to start her young
05/12/05 22:13:13 Jana_in_Indiana: she sounds like a doll Sherry!
05/12/05 22:13:24 violetbecca: ok i will try that
05/12/05 22:13:36 Jana_in_Indiana: Sherry -- I know I owe you replies, but my time has been crazy!
05/12/05 22:14:05 sherry__(Mo): I sure get a kick out of her-and she is actually a member of one of our local clubs
05/12/05 22:14:11 violetbecca: my cousins daughter came over today and she is 4 she looked at the Av's I have and she said ohhh prtty like me right
05/12/05 22:14:23 Jana_in_Indiana: Becca, definitely do NOT use it on AV's or houseplants, you'll bring in buggies & nematodes, but outside  they're already there
05/12/05 22:14:41 sherry__(Mo): Jana, just when ever you get time-no hurry-Rod comes home tomorrow so my time will be limited too
05/12/05 22:14:46 violetbecca: ok that is what I was wondering
05/12/05 22:14:48 Jana_in_Indiana: that's cute Becca!
05/12/05 22:15:07 violetbecca: yeah she's a hand full but I love her like she was my own
05/12/05 22:15:07 Jana_in_Indiana: oh, ok, so no really bad news?
05/12/05 22:15:13 sherry__(Mo): Ahhh Becca, that's so sweet! Give her a baby Av!!
05/12/05 22:15:31 violetbecca: I would but her mom would throw it out
05/12/05 22:15:41 sherry__(Mo): They are going to run more test but are talking about surgery
05/12/05 22:15:54 Jana_in_Indiana: Becca, you'll need to give it care -- when she's not looking, you don't want her heartbroken if it dies
05/12/05 22:16:12 sherry__(Mo): Keep one for her at your house Becca
05/12/05 22:16:17 Jana_in_Indiana: ok, it's always something Sherry!
05/12/05 22:16:31 Jana_in_Indiana: put her name on one you have, a noid Becca
05/12/05 22:16:34 Carol_SK: that's a good plan to keep one at your house for her
05/12/05 22:16:38 violetbecca: i'm thinking of giving her one to keep at my grandmother's when she comes to see her dad she can look at it and see how it is doing
05/12/05 22:16:44 sherry__(Mo): Have her "help" you put down a leaf!!
05/12/05 22:16:56 Carol_SK: oh, I think she would be soooo excited
05/12/05 22:17:20 Jana_in_Indiana: Sherry, I just found out my Dad is going to have heart surgery -- valve replaced on the aorta
05/12/05 22:17:30 violetbecca: i do to   I want to paint flower pots with her some time and then take her and have her pick out the flowers she wants to put in them
05/12/05 22:18:04 Jana_in_Indiana: or give her seeds to plant, zennias or marigolds are quick & easy growers
05/12/05 22:18:15 Jana_in_Indiana: sunflowers too
05/12/05 22:18:19 violetbecca: jana i'm sorry to hear about your dad   if you don't mind me asking how old is her
05/12/05 22:18:32 sherry__(Mo): Brittney really surprises me because I could have cared less about plants at her age. We had a program on dish gardens. Brittney told me she had to get busy and do a design fpr the upsoming show-LOL

05/12/05 22:21:55 Carol_SK: laffin, Becca you have to remain loyal
05/12/05 22:22:09 Jana_in_Indiana: bypass is wonderful!  This will be valve replacement, so he should do just fine, if his 'head' doesn't get too much in the way, LOL
05/12/05 22:22:24 violetbecca: I know but this war with arnet clinic and the hospitals is starting to ware on me
05/12/05 22:22:50 Carol_SK: the politics can get to be a bit much
