Re: [Aroid-l] Off topic: Lycopodium in arrangements question

From: Steve Marak samarak at gizmoworks.com> on 2006.04.09 at 16:05:23(14075) Thanks to Alan, Harry, Michael, Reggie, and those who replied off list about this. I'll try some cuttings expecting failure, so I'll be pleasantly surprised by any success at all. Fortunately, these stems are pretty big, much larger than the temperate lycodpodiums which grow wild somewhere here in Arkansas. (I say somewhere because I've spent a lot of time tramping around looking at plants in the wild here, and I've never seen one.) Each is about 45 cm. long, and they'd already been clipped both bottom and top, so I had enough material to try several mediums and several strengths of rooting hormones. Harry, I've seen the same thing - cuttings which don't rot but don't root either - from some sansevierias. I took several cuttings from the best looking of the few I have. Although all 5 cuttings were from the same leaf, 1 rooted in a few months, 1 took 2 years, 1 took more than 3 years, and the other 2 rotted - but only after about 3.5 years.
