I thought for a long time that the one I call Beefsteak was Selph's Mahogandy but picture I found didn't look like it. I call it Beefsteak as that's what it looks more like.


Here's some pieces of rhizomes I put down a few weeks ago. See if you can tell me if my id (Beefsteak)is correct. I have the mother plant but after I took the cuttings,I gave her a real good haircut.

I don't think I could root the "Wineuma" in water. The leaves are really suculent and probably would rot. I wish everything was as to root as the cane type. I generaly am overrun with pots of the cane begoinas because when I give them haircuts,I don't seem to be able to toss out the trimmings...LOL
