Gita: That is a Gorgeous Ric Rac! Oh how I'd love to see buds all over mine and those beautiful blooms! I've read that the Ric Rac blooms are fragrant, and was hoping for that added bonus if mine ever graced me with blooms again! Maybe if I would feed it, I'd see a flower or two ... and even if they aren't fragrant, they sure are pretty!

My plant stays outside year round and has those ugly roots coming out all over too, so I don't think it's caused by being inside the house. I think they are just aerial roots reaching out and trying to find something to attach and cling to, wanting to take root and spread.

I bet the plant you donated to the conservatory is wonderful and I know they appreciate it. I hope you get to go there sometime and can take a picture to share with us! I've told my husband that if something were to happen to me, if I die before him, I want all of my plants donated to the botanical gardens. He doesn't know a thing about plants and wouldn't have the time to take care of them!

Gita, I forgot to ask, is your Ric Rac blooming right now? I can't remember what time of year mine bloomed last year ... I was thinking it was sometime in September but no signs of a bud anywhere on mine.
