Yes, you sent it and I cut it into 3 sections. It was totally leafless, but I think it may just be starting to make a tiny bit of growth. I still have it, the sweet olive, and the duranta under plastic to encourage rooting. A couple of the duranta seem to be making new leaves, so they may be rooted. The sweet olive is not doing anything yet, but the leaves still look good. (I cut them off some lengthwise to lessen the strain on the cutting...I have had success doing that with oleanders and large leaved coleus before.) Still no yuccas or Chinese violets but I have not given up hope.

How are the things I sent you doing? One of the selaginellas (K. martensii) seems to require extremely high humidity to look it's best. The other one that is more prostrate has weathered several winters outside, protected by a light pine needle mulch. It burns some, but comes back good from the roots. It also graces the soil of some of my larger houseplants. The bougainvillea is going again, took this the other day:

Will start you another piece when it needs cut back in summer.
