Rhaphidophora =C2=A0 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? Best to all, Jude =C2=A0 On Mon, Aug 6, 2018 at 3:12 PM, Theodore Held <oppenhauser2001@gmail.com> wrote: Dear Silent Seed, =C2=A0 There are still a few of us. Maybe many.
