I moved both pots this morning from shade to full sun. It would be really cool to see some green. Frankly, I would be shocked.

Hetty, this is a breathtaking plant. First, congratulation on such a great find. I really would love to have a cutting if possible whenever you can, I can trade something or postage up to you. Hetty can you let me know the name of the Nursery? I will be in Sarasota, so may be I can visit it.

Now , my experience with rooting. I am not a very good “rooter”, but I really wanted one plant that is hard to root. So I did an experiment and Yep, I got it done: you can take perlite, turface , napa product or 50/50 soil and perlite. Plant a cutting , water it and put a pot into some container so the pot is kind of hanging. Put water into that container. The pot you planted your cutting in do not touch the water. You do not need to water your cutting constantly just from time to time and wait, wait , wait…… I rooted a desert rose using this method and I was never able to root a desert rose. You can try and see what happens.

sounds like a great way to keep humidity high while a cutting strikes roots!

I had to laugh the other day just remembering this thread's title... found nice sized (5-6 eye) pot of Fire & Ice hosta at Lowe's for $5.

You are correct critterologist and also I think the plant feels the water and produce roots to get it to survive. I might be wrong, but it worked.

Sounds like a good found for a big hosta

I'll give this a try, it does makes sense.

[quote="Dutchlady1"] if you still have this plant- is it possible to buy a cutting or 2 from you. I have been searching for this a long time and can't find it near me.

@Melmel627,

Dutchlady1's last post on this site was more than a year ago so she may not see your request for cuttings.
