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

From: Emily Colletti <Emily.Colletti at mobot.org> on 2018.08.06 at 20:14:50(23880) Yes Dr. Croat is still around. Working on his 51st year at MOBOT. As for your cuttings I root most of my aroids with AA/or AAA New Zealand spagmoss. With a high percentage of success. Sprinkle on Cinnamon if you are getting rot or sprinkle on Sulfer plant fungicide by bonide.

Rhaphidophora Hi guys! Thanks for coming out of the woodwork! 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.
