More Unusual Streptocarpus Reproduction....

Now here's something you don't see everyday on your average Streptocarpus! It's got a stem. Streptocarpus usually do not have stems that are visible above the ground and are referred to as 'acaulescent'.

Here we've got the little stem with leaves planted in a Solo cup with some soil mix. Let's hope it roots and we can see what becomes of this rather interesting offshoot.

Comments???

Questions????

Thought for the day...

It is a golden maxim to cultivate the garden for the nose, and the eyes will take care of themselves. ~Robert Louis Stevenson

Plant carrots in January and you'll never have to eat carrots. ~Author Unknown

It is utterly forbidden to be half-hearted about gardening. You have got to love your garden whether you like it or not. ~W.C. Sellar & R.J. Yeatman, Garden Rubbish, 1936

It's so hard when I have to, and so easy when I want to. ~Annie Gottlier

Science, or para-science, tells us that geraniums bloom better if they are spoken to. But a kind word every now and then is really quite enough. Too much attention, like too much feeding, and weeding and hoeing, inhibits and embarrasses them. ~Victoria Glendinning

Define That!

Major Element: An essential element required by African Violets and other plants in relatively substantial concentrations compared to those essential elements which are called micronutrients. The nine major elements are calcium (Ca), carbon (C), hydrogen (H), magnesium (Mg), nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and sulfur (S). Major elements are sometimes called macronutrients, presumably in contrast to micronutrients. Major elements, however, is the preferred term. Also see Primary Element and Secondary Element.
