2007-08-21 21:42:51 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: you can crown it when it gets bigger
2007-08-21 21:43:47 [Message] Betty K IA -> VioletReflections: And then it would sucker??
2007-08-21 21:44:32 [Message] del -> VioletReflections:  for sure crown it and leave the bottom part in the pot and you will get 3 suckers on it plus you will have the  crown part to grow as a cutting
2007-08-21 21:44:50 [Message] Betty K IA -> VioletReflections: Ok
2007-08-21 21:45:48 [Message] del -> VioletReflections: I do that to any of my fantasy that way I allways have true fantasy  new cuttings and crow 
2007-08-21 21:46:47 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: Kiko smuggled plants into the country with no trouble, but they thought I had a bomb at the airport when leaving Denver -- the free samples of fertilizer I had in my walker earlier that week left traces they detected!

2007-08-21 21:48:15 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: have any of you used auxins
2007-08-21 21:48:37 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: I've used IBA, but not the one David uses
2007-08-21 21:48:55 [Message] Betty K IA -> VioletReflections: What is it?
2007-08-21 21:49:00 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: but I plan to give it a try
2007-08-21 21:49:07 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: can you tell a lot of difference
2007-08-21 21:49:14 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: rooting hormones
2007-08-21 21:49:18 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: and what is the difference
2007-08-21 21:49:29 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: I only use IBA on long necks & suckers, not leaves
2007-08-21 21:49:55 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: maybe Del can help?
2007-08-21 21:50:01 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: he mixes his in solution
2007-08-21 21:50:09 [Message] del -> VioletReflections:  so do I jana use the I_B_A
2007-08-21 21:50:10 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: right
2007-08-21 21:50:42 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: guess I could try IBA in solution, hadn't tried that -- also don't have any leaves down right now
2007-08-21 21:51:24 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: the babies I have now either have fins or fur!  LOL
2007-08-21 21:51:42 [Message] Betty K IA -> VioletReflections: :) 
2007-08-21 21:52:50 [Message] del -> VioletReflections: the one I use Jana is from wal mart liquid root stimulator it has I_B_A in it I use 1/2 TSP per gallon of water and water all  leaves I am putting down plus cuttings and also for the first 2 weeks after i transplant even the older plants
2007-08-21 21:52:56 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: lol 
2007-08-21 21:53:19 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: can you see a big difference Del when using that solution?
2007-08-21 21:53:45 [Message] del -> VioletReflections: yes especially on putting down leaves Jana 
2007-08-21 21:54:07 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: do they produce more babies, or just grow faster
2007-08-21 21:54:08 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: time to go to Wal-Mart!  LOL
2007-08-21 21:54:25 [Message] del -> VioletReflections:  seems to root faster but what I like is I get babies faster using it 
2007-08-21 21:54:36 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: how fast?
2007-08-21 21:55:11 [Message] del -> VioletReflections:  depends on the leaf cheryl some  give you more babies than others do 
2007-08-21 21:55:42 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: david said he used 50/50 perlite/vermiculite
2007-08-21 21:55:59 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: right
2007-08-21 21:56:22 [Message] del -> VioletReflections:  see babies  even in 3 weeks on some leaves most by 4-5 weeks but the babies  to meare stronger using it 
2007-08-21 21:56:31 [Message] Millie / Ca -> VioletReflections: I think a lot do just use the 50/50 but I always put soil down as a base
2007-08-21 21:56:46 [Message] Betty K IA -> VioletReflections: Jana you said you Physan 20 on your leaves when you put them down do you spray the leaves and soil or do you just water the soil with it?
2007-08-21 21:57:25 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: both Betty
2007-08-21 21:58:10 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: I dip leaves ready to plant, before planting in Physan 20, then also add it to the water I mositen the soil with
2007-08-21 21:58:38 [Message] Millie / Ca -> VioletReflections: I do neither just clean them off let them dry and cut them and put them in
2007-08-21 21:58:38 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: what is the dilution?
2007-08-21 21:58:40 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: Millie -- Pat Hancocks does that too
2007-08-21 21:58:47 [Message] del -> VioletReflections: remember the shorter the leaf stalk (stem) is the quicker you will get babies also
2007-08-21 21:58:55 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: 3/4 teaspoon Physan 20 to 1 gallon water
2007-08-21 22:00:12 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: del is it the shorter the stem or not planting it too deep
2007-08-21 22:00:36 [Message] del -> VioletReflections:  also using this I_B_A solotion I use  I am giving my leaves 100 parts per million
2007-08-21 22:00:38 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: I think it's both - but would make a good experiment
2007-08-21 22:01:04 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: how do we mix that up Del?  How much per gallon of water?
2007-08-21 22:01:04 [Message] Millie / Ca -> VioletReflections: well I do not worry as I clean with bleach and Physan all the time and wash leaves all the time . But when I set leaves I do another cleaning but let them dry real good as I cover them.
2007-08-21 22:01:08 [Message] del -> VioletReflections:  both Jan but the shorter leaf is real important I belive
2007-08-21 22:01:13 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: i thought the longer the stem, the less likely the leaf was to sport
2007-08-21 22:01:30 [Message] del -> VioletReflections:  1/2 TSP per gallon of water 
2007-08-21 22:01:37 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: thanks!  ;)
2007-08-21 22:01:49 [Message] del -> VioletReflections:  never heard that one chryl
2007-08-21 22:02:04 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: I've heard of it Cheryl
2007-08-21 22:02:36 [Message] del -> VioletReflections:  I hear an experiment coming on LOL
2007-08-21 22:02:47 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: i won't swear but i think i got that from jeff smith, the chomosomes are more like the plant the closer to the main stem
2007-08-21 22:03:05 [Message] Millie / Ca -> VioletReflections: Cheryl me either I allways keep the stem short I would like to know if that works tho but I really do not have a problem with sports
2007-08-21 22:03:11 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: but, if that were true, none of the plants would bloom true if using tissue culture because you only use the leaf, no petioles at all
2007-08-21 22:03:37 [Message] del -> VioletReflections:  I will try it on fantasy to see what happens Millie 
2007-08-21 22:03:41 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: when i have a leaf i want to use over several times i leave the stem long
2007-08-21 22:04:11 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: i use the trick millie taught me, and put a tooth pick through the leaf to stablize it
2007-08-21 22:04:28 [Message] Betty K IA -> VioletReflections: so you don't plant it too deep??
2007-08-21 22:04:37 [Message] Millie / Ca -> VioletReflections: Good Del a good experient and I have some small trays I can try also
2007-08-21 22:04:49 [Message] del -> VioletReflections:  how about the people who put 2 leaves started same time in same pot sya they get better results
2007-08-21 22:05:07 [Message] Millie / Ca -> VioletReflections: yep Cheryl still do it LOL
2007-08-21 22:05:35 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: Cheryl, on 3 Swappers group Marty was telling us about using packing styrofoam peanuts to stabilize leaves
2007-08-21 22:05:38 [Message] del -> VioletReflections:  never longer that 3/4 in betty
2007-08-21 22:05:57 [Message] del -> VioletReflections:   inch that is the length 
2007-08-21 22:06:41 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: yes, that would work, but sometims i find they need the pick in the leaf to really keep them still
2007-08-21 22:06:43 [Message] Millie / Ca -> VioletReflections: Well That is good Jana as I am sure it would work but I like to see the soil on all sides I guess it is just a me thing
2007-08-21 22:06:55 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: LOL
2007-08-21 22:06:56 [Message] Betty K IA -> VioletReflections: I  do mine really short I was just wondering about Cheryl using it again leaving it long
2007-08-21 22:07:20 [Message] Millie / Ca -> VioletReflections: and the tooth picks do not hurt the leaves
2007-08-21 22:07:22 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: i cut it each time i repot
2007-08-21 22:07:31 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: so it need some long stem
2007-08-21 22:07:53 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: apaches don't give me many babies and so i leave the stem long on them
2007-08-21 22:07:55 [Message] Betty K IA -> VioletReflections: Then you don't plant it too deep?
2007-08-21 22:08:43 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: I like the plastic pick best, like you used to use when rolling your hair
2007-08-21 22:08:48 [Message] Betty K IA -> VioletReflections: Millie you put the tooth pick through the leaf and then down in back into the soil?
2007-08-21 22:08:56 [Message] del -> VioletReflections:  if I did use a long stem  I would still only put it into the mix shallow
2007-08-21 22:09:00 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: yes betty sometims they are just a few mm deep
2007-08-21 22:09:00 [Message] Millie / Ca -> VioletReflections: yes that is true Cheryl a lot do not produce many baby's Some of the buckeye's are that way but some do real good
2007-08-21 22:09:49 [Message] Jake -> VioletReflections: doesn't the toothpick cause the leaf to rot?
2007-08-21 22:10:07 [Message] Millie / Ca -> VioletReflections: I usually put 3 leaves up of each leaf I plant
2007-08-21 22:10:16 [Message] del -> VioletReflections: never seen it rot the leaf yet Jake
2007-08-21 22:10:23 [Message] Millie / Ca -> VioletReflections: No Jake not at all
2007-08-21 22:10:32 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: not if it is clean, the leaf forms a scar around it
2007-08-21 22:10:38 [Message] Jake -> VioletReflections: oh ok
2007-08-21 22:11:42 [Message] Millie / Ca -> VioletReflections: Jake if it is an old leaf it will rot no matter what we do 
2007-08-21 22:12:09 [Message] del -> VioletReflections: remeber when you cut a stem of a leaf to start  let the stem end dry for an 1/2 hour at least before planting then  hardly ever get any rot 
2007-08-21 22:12:22 [Message] Betty K IA -> VioletReflections: But the toothpick goes into the leaf from the front and then down the back into the soil?
2007-08-21 22:13:14 [Message] Millie / Ca -> VioletReflections: Yes and it works good the leaf is all ways up and out of the soil.
2007-08-21 22:13:53 [Message] del -> VioletReflections:  for sure millie ifthe leaf touches the soil you could get rot 
2007-08-21 22:13:55 [Message] Betty K IA -> VioletReflections: sounds good I think my leaves get too far down into the sol
2007-08-21 22:14:10 [Message] Millie / Ca -> VioletReflections: And Clean is very  important and than you need to let them dry good
2007-08-21 22:14:12 [Message] Betty K IA -> VioletReflections: Soil*
2007-08-21 22:14:18 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: i dont do all leaves this way each one is treated just like an individual 
2007-08-21 22:14:45 [Message] del -> VioletReflections:  best way to do it Cheryl
2007-08-21 22:14:56 [Message] Millie / Ca -> VioletReflections: yes like children Cheryl LOL
2007-08-21 22:15:11 [Message] Betty K IA -> VioletReflections: does it depend on what leaf you are putting down
2007-08-21 22:15:13 [Message] Jana -> VioletReflections: just don't poke the toothpick through the main vein in the leaf
2007-08-21 22:16:10 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: the big leaves sometimes make the cup tip over if the slant of the leaf is to much
2007-08-21 22:16:21 [Message] Millie / Ca -> VioletReflections: I do not use tooth picks on mini or semi  most of the time. But planting short they do kinda lay on the soil.
2007-08-21 22:17:03 [Message] Millie / Ca -> VioletReflections: and I hate that LOL Just my iffy thing LOL
2007-08-21 22:17:34 [Message] Millie / Ca -> VioletReflections: but they do produce fast thank you GOD
2007-08-21 22:17:39 [Message] Betty K IA -> VioletReflections: I grow mostly semi and mini's so mine do touch the siol
2007-08-21 22:17:46 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: i usually dont cut the top of the leaf off on the big ones until it get roots
2007-08-21 22:17:59 [Message] del -> VioletReflections: on mini and even some semi Millie I cut a staw to fit the pot and lay the leaf on that on top of the soil with just the very tip of the stem into the mix
2007-08-21 22:18:27 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: good idea
2007-08-21 22:18:37 [Message] Cheryl in TX -> VioletReflections: like laying it on a log
2007-08-21 22:18:38 [Message] Millie / Ca -> VioletReflections: Del Good One I will try it
2007-08-21 22:18:46 [Message] del -> VioletReflections:  it works for me Cheryl LOL
