Re: [Aroid-l] Anyone on here ? Rhaphidophora

From: riley2362 at aol.com on 2018.08.06 at 21:26:05(23879) I find this plant to be quite easy to root in sphagnum, almost too easy! I have stopped rooting them because very few people have a place to grow this fast climbing, large-leaved species - but, then again, I'm in the middle of New York City. So I just take a machete to the vine when it reaches the ceiling and it branches out and repeats the performance within another year.

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?

No one will be able to replace that guy. Ted Held Detroit On Mon, Aug 6, 2018 at 11:29 AM, The Silent Seed wrote: 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.
