05/31/05 20:40:30 Peggy_in_Pa: thanks
05/31/05 20:40:50 Jana_in_Indiana: Ton y, I just used drink cups, pots didn't leave much room for soil
05/31/05 20:41:08 Jana_in_Indiana: & are much harder to put holes into
05/31/05 20:41:12 del_SK: the gravel is good for drainage in the pot also
05/31/05 20:41:43 Luana_BC: I use a drill for the holes
05/31/05 20:41:47 Jana_in_Indiana: De l, have you tried Texas Style potting?
05/31/05 20:42:17 del_SK: Jana are you using the aquarium water for your violets and have you tested the PH of the water
05/31/05 20:42:35 del_SK: tried it was not happy with it
05/31/05 20:43:05 Luana_BC: The only drinking cups I can find are clear, can't find the colored ones which are best
05/31/05 20:43:24 Jana_in_Indiana: pH is about the same as tap water, since that's what I'm using, but since they've been laying eggs, I have methylene blue in it & didn't know if it would affect the AV's
05/31/05 20:43:53 del_SK: I use the  5 and 7 oz clear plastic drinking cups for starting leaves love it
05/31/05 20:44:10 sherry__(Mo): I tried it Jana, and had good luck-bur kept up my regular way instead.
05/31/05 20:44:32 Becca,IN: so do i del and i just heat up a nail in the candle and melt a hole in the hard plastic ones
05/31/05 20:44:32 sherry__(Mo): Old habits are hard to break!
05/31/05 20:44:39 Jana_in_Indiana: yes, I have a hard time physically trying to do the tanks & AV's all in one day
05/31/05 20:44:50 Luana_BC: I find I get green stuff on the outer edges when I use the clear ones
05/31/05 20:45:00 Peggy_in_Pa: Del why so big
05/31/05 20:45:00 del_SK: my aquarium water  has a PH of 5.2 which I think is to low so I never use it
05/31/05 20:45:16 Carol_SK: back in  a bit, sister on the phone
05/31/05 20:45:31 Jana_in_Indiana: wow, that's almost low enough to kill some fish, what fish do you have in it?
05/31/05 20:45:39 Jana_in_Indiana: see ya Carol
05/31/05 20:45:51 Luana_BC: Bye Carol
05/31/05 20:46:16 del_SK: I put the leaf in the 5 cup and then cover it with the 7 cup the 7 cup slips over the edge of the 5 so makes  a good propagating device
05/31/05 20:46:47 Jana_in_Indiana: I lost an entire batch of fry over a pH spike, was using R/O then, now everything is on tap, except AV's get R/O
05/31/05 20:46:48 Peggy_in_Pa: Del you must use a lot of soil
05/31/05 20:46:52 del_SK: just ordinary guppy and that
05/31/05 20:47:07 Jana_in_Indiana: oh, ok
05/31/05 20:47:25 Jana_in_Indiana: I'll check my pH now
05/31/05 20:47:36 del_SK: no peggy I put in about 2 inches of the soil mix in the 5 oz cup
05/31/05 20:48:00 Peggy_in_Pa: why do you need such a big cup DEl
05/31/05 20:48:12 Tony__IL: why so much soil if you only put the leaf 1/2" deep
05/31/05 20:48:14 del_SK: or I use 2 iches of the gel crystals  in the 5 oz  cup
05/31/05 20:48:31 Jana_in_Indiana: the pH is 7.8
05/31/05 20:48:58 del_SK: those are the only 2 size cups I can find that the  7 oz one fits over the 5 oz one
05/31/05 20:49:05 Luana_BC: I enjoyed the chat but the kids say my times up on the puter(it's their time now) so I gotta go. Bye everyone
05/31/05 20:49:21 Tony__IL: bye Luana

05/31/05 21:37:28 sherry__(Mo): don't forget to let me know how it does!!
05/31/05 21:37:42 del_SK: it should work great for rooted cuttings like say a cutting from a trailer
05/31/05 21:37:54 del_SK: sure will
05/31/05 21:38:30 del_SK: I will put in a cutting from Humpty doo  for you just to see how it does when I send the  gel ok
05/31/05 21:38:31 sherry__(Mo): that's what I was thinking! You're going to have a nice long vacation-so that gives me time to experiment
05/31/05 21:38:43 sherry__(Mo): Soinds great Del!!

05/31/05 21:41:46 sherry__(Mo): My sister is in the hospital and on the phone so I need to talk to her
05/31/05 21:42:48 del_SK: I was reading up on her gel and you can not let the leaf touch the gel or it kills the leaf  with this gel does not matter how far you stick the leaf or cutting into the gel still roots good and no trouble you can leave the leaf in the gel also till the ba
05/31/05 21:43:36 sherry__(Mo): it worked good cuttings, but that was it
05/31/05 21:44:02 del_SK: till the baby,s appear and you do not have to remove any of the crystals from the  leaf when you plant it into your soil
05/31/05 21:44:46 sherry__(Mo): It sounds great! I'm surprised I can't find it around here-I even asked at a large nursery (Oh! You should see the tree we bought!!)
