Naw, just seeds & cuttings would suffice. But it's YOUR thread, so you call it whatever trips your trigger. I divided my Hawaiian spider plants yesterday & there are a lot to share. I am dividing my Dietes grandiflora (African Iris) tomorrow, so there will be several of those. You could use them for a doorprize. I can bring in pieces of Huernia (Stapelias that don't smell), (the one with the wine-colored small flowers), that can be very easily rooted. I have more of the Drimopsis tubers, I also have some of the hardy potato vine, I'll be bringing in several species of seeds, etc. For some reason, I seem to be able to grow more divisions than what produces seeds in my garden. I can also bring in a low light plant: SIDERASIS FUSCATA :Spiderwort" or "Bear Ears" Thick rosettes of fabulous rusty-haired wide chocolate leaves with central silver band, brilliantly described as resembling a "Gay 90's sofa cushion". Needs warmth and perfect drainage to flourish. You can see it on Google. I divided my Chlorophytum orchidastrum (pix included) and will bring in one or two for a door prize. Maybe more as I divide.
