Re: [Aroid-l] Anyone on here ?

From: Tom Croat <Thomas.Croat at mobot.org> on 2018.08.07 at 16:52:08(23903) Dear Don: Thanks for your imput. I am afraid that I am guilty of failing to keep up with the postings and requests but I try to help when specifically asked. Facebook often sends you messages that seem very specific and personal but when I open them I see not connected to me personally at all. So that discourages me to respond.

Martinson ; Discussion of aroids Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Anyone on here ? That was a very well put description of the groups and their decline. I am still on a couple of yahoo parrot groups but there aren't many left. I didn't know about the facebook groups and did join them, so I really appreciate that information as well. The Silent Seed is an amazing place! I visited, thank you. Jill Bell On August 6, 2018 at 12:50 PM "Donald R.

There are subgroups on FB for many of the plants which used to have their own newsgroups, in which information was exchanged mainly by text (and before high speed internet, some even restricted the posting of photos). The new groups have become mainly place for people to post photos of their plants and perhaps ask an occasional question. This is all well and good, but truthfully, I miss the more personal conversations with the likes of Wilbert Hetterscheid, Dewey Fisk, Dr. Croat, and others too numerous to mention. The Facebook group is: Planet Aroid, at. https://www.facebook.com/groups/planetaroid/?ref=bookmarks However a more comprehensive is: The International Aroid Society at http://www.aroid.org/society/ And, of course, with the expansion of the internet, more specialized has become available for many of the plants we know and love.

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.
